Steven Isserlis and Concerto Budapest A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

A hugely popular cello concerto performed by one of the most popular cellists in the world in this Concerto Budapest concert under the baton of András Keller – a day after British musician Steven Isserlis is heard in a joint chamber recital with Dénes Várjon, he steps onto the stage as soloist for Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor. The work, which has been in the core repertoire of cellists since its composition, had not been recorded by Isserlis for nearly 40 years. Until last year, that is, when he finally made his own recording, immediately welcomed as a benchmark by critics. After the Dvořák work there are two Tchaikovsky classics, the musical imprints of two tragic love stories: the symphonic fantasia Romeo and Juliet and the orchestral suite of the ballet music Swan Lake.
