BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2011 Repeats, Prom 08

From the eighth concert of the 2011 Proms: Dvorak: Cello Concerto. Smetana: Ma vlast.

Penny Gore presents music from the eighth concert of the 2011 Proms. With Dvorak's Cello Concerto, played by Jean-Guihen Queyras, and Smetana's Ma vlast.

With Penny Gore.

A Czech programme featuring Dvorak's Cello Concerto and the six symphonic poems of Má vlast by Smetana. 

Dvorák's Cello Concerto is full of melody and heartfelt sentiment, to which French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras brings both youthful urgency and intimacy to his performance. The work is widely regarded as the finest concerto ever written for the instrument. Nostalgia turns to nationalism with Smetana's Má vlast - a glorious musical touchstone for 'the resurrection of the Czech nation, its future happiness and glory'. Tom Service presents.
