Dvořák Cello Concerto in B minor
Soloist Daniel Benn
Raine Memories of a Dream
Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F major
Nineteenth-century Romanticism is hugely to the fore for our second concert, kicking off with the Dvořák, the world’s best-known and best-loved cello concerto, performed by the gifted young soloist Daniel Benn in memory of his grandfather, Tony Benn. After the interval the orchestra performs Brahms’s Third Symphony, a masterpiece written in a mere four months, of which Clara Schumann wrote to Brahms on February 11, 1884: ‘All the movements seem to be of one piece, one beat of the heart.’
Many thanks to Ian Gillett, Steve Belgrave and Lester Barnes for photographing and recording the rehearsal and performance.
