Classical Music Playlist, October 7, 2022
Czech composer Antonín Dvořák had initially resisted composing a concerto for cello, thinking the instrument fine for the orchestra but unsuited as a solo instrument. But hearing a cello concerto by his colleague at the National Conservatory in NYC, Victor Herbert (also the principal cellist in the New York premiere of Dvořák’s “New World Symphony” in 1893), Dvořák changed his mind. Composed in New York the year after his “New World Symphony,” Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B-minor is today's Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm with soloist Yo Yo Ma to celebrate his 67th birthday today!
