Summary
Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony at Symphony Hall, featuring cellist Maximilian Hornung in Shostakovich’s Second Concerto and music by Šerkšnytė.
Why it's fantastic
Hear the nostalgic solo that famously soundtracked the Hovis bread advert in Dvořák’s symphony, a piece brimming with wide-eyed melodies and American spirit. Before that, cellist Maximilian Hornung tackles Shostakovich’s brooding concerto, offering a darker, more rhythmic contrast that tests the very limits of what four strings can do.
