Classical Music Playlist, January 22, 2024
Czech composer Antonín Dvořák had initially resisted composing a concerto for cello, thinking the instrument fine within the orchestra but unsuited as a solo instrument. But hearing a cello concerto by his colleague at the National Conservatory in NYC, Victor Herbert (also the principal cellist in the New York premiere of Dvořák’s “New World Symphony” in 1893), Dvořák changed his mind. Composed in New York the year after his “New World Symphony,” Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B-minor is today's Midday Masterpiece.
