Interview
Alan Gilbert in conversation with Emmanuel Pahud Dvořák’s Cello Concerto with Steven Isserlis and Alan Gilbert
Of the few important cello concertos in the repertoire, Antonín Dvořák’s contribution to the genre stands out because of its inexhaustible melodic richness and mellow late Romantic tone. Steven Isserlis – “Britain’s greatest cellist” (The Telegraph) – performs the concerto with Alan Gilbert, who also conducts Bohuslav Martinů’s Fourth Symphony from 1945: a work filled with immense relief at the end of World War II.
