Dvorak / Dindo / Orchestra Della Toscana Cello Concerto, Op. 104 CD

The Czech composer Anton?n Dvork was gaining international fame during the latter part of the 19th century for a string of highly successful and popular works across many genres. His Cello Concerto was premiered in London in 1896 - it's symphonic character and wonderful melodic invention made the concerto one of his most beloved and frequently performed works. The Rondo, Op. 94 owes it's Slavic nature to the popular melody on which it is based, while the enchanting Silent Woods and soulful La?t mich allein! Are both arrangements from previous works. The pieces on this album are performed by the award-winning cellist Enrico Dindo - praised by Rostropovich for an extraordinary sound that 'flows as a splendid Italian voice'.
