CELLO Concerto with Jean-Guihen Queyras and Karina Canellakis

Programme

  • Dvořák Cello Concerto
  • Rachmaninov Symphonic dances

French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras in the most beautiful solo concerto for his instrument: Dvo?ák's. Written for a great love. Karina Canellakis also leads her Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances.

Queyras plays Dvo?ák
French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras in the most beautiful solo concerto for his instrument: that by Dvo?ák. It's absolutely genius,' Queyras says in a video on social media. 'With the most beautiful melodies, and moreover an autobiographical background.' In his Cello Concerto, Dvo?ák repeatedly plays one of his earlier songs. He once wrote it for a great love, and even when he married her sister, the connection remained. The Cello Concerto is Dvo?ák's tribute to his sister-in-law, and his mourning for her death. According to The Telegraph, Queyras finds exactly the 'right balance between discipline and freedom' in Dvo?ák. The result is refined and moving.

Canellakis leads Rachmaninoff
Karina Canellakis 'releases a crackling energy on stage', wrote Trouw. The new chief of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducts Rachmaninoff as well as Dvo?ák. His Symphonic Dances indeed crackle, but they also tinkle. Rachmaninoff incorporated all kinds of bells and other percussion into his bittersweet last piece of music.
