PROGRAMME

Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104:

One of the two most performed cello concertos in the world, memorialising Dvořák’s demised first love/sister-in-law Josefina, who he had loved and been turned down before he married her sister Anna. In the melancholy second movement of the piece, Dvořák quoted one of his own songs ("Lasst mich allein" [Let Me Be Alone], Op. 82, No. 1) which was a favorite song of Josefina's and its appearance here is a personal tribute.

Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88, B. 163:

Composed at Dvořák’s summer retreat in celebration of his election to the Bohemian Academy of Science, Literature and Arts. A fun and lively symphony, filled with the joys of life and his admiration for natural beauty and the piece reveals the composer’s fondness for Czech and Slavonic folk music.
