7th Master Concert German State Philharmonic Orchestra Rhineland-Palatinate
April 22, 1885: AntonÃn Dvořák's 7th Symphony has its premiere!
America and the famous music he will compose there
are still in the future. But London has already discovered his
enormous talent and the Philharmonic Society
asks the composer from Bohemia to write a new symphony:
At the premiere, St. James' Hall with its 2,000 seats
is packed to the rafters. Even the Duke of Edinburgh is there. And?
Standing ovations for a Dvořák in which you can hear the roots
of folk music: a Dvorák - wild and elegant!
Bartók is also a master in processing folklore and violin -
virtuoso Christian Tetzlaff can combine this with a touch of romantic
melting on the violin to create a veritable dance of fire.
