Overview
Smetana Overture, The Bartered Bride, Elgar Cello Concerto, Dvořák Symphony No. 7. Performers: Gabriella Teychenné conductor, Laura van der Heijden cello. ‘There is music in the air’ said Edward Elgar, and deep in the Sussex Downs, he found the inspiration for his Cello Concerto. A century later, we’ve taken it to our hearts, and in Prague they feel much the same way about Smetana’s The Bartered Bride and Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony. One is a sparkling romantic comedy, the other is one of the most passionate of great symphonies, but conductor Gabriella Teychenné will make them both leap to life today. One of the leading cellists of her generation, Laura van der Heijden takes the spotlight in Elgar’s haunting, hugely-popular Concerto.
