Cello Concerto in B Minor, op.104

Symphony No. 8 in G Major, op. 88

Traditionally, Antonin Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B Minor is described in superlatives: performers, newspaper critics, biographers of the composer call this opus the greatest cello concerto of all time, the king of the genre. Dvořák himself, who had disliked the cello as a solo instrument since his youth, agreed with his admirers. Working as the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America did not prevent Dvořák from composing quickly: the Сello Сoncerto was started on the 8th of November 1894, and on the 9th of February 1895, the composer completed the score. The three-part cycle strikes with its fresh national thematism and its clear, energetic development, the harmonious solution of the solo part, effectively revealing both the technical and timbre capacities of the cello.
Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, unlike the stormy Romanticism of the Seventh and the American connotations of the Ninth, is an ideal example of a national paradigm expressed in a long form. The abundance of everyday Bohemian and Moravian motifs, their diverse character and free, sometimes bizarre development are reminiscent of Mahler’s symphonism. However, sudden bursts of drama lead neither to orchestral cataclysms nor to tragic philosophical generalizations: Dvořák’s ‘song of the native land’ paints a positivist picture of a motley and, in general, very charming world where heroics, sentimentality and stormy festive fun agree well with each other.
