The three solo concertos and smaller concertante works by Dvorak, on two CDs!
In Dvořák's substantial symphonic oeuvre there are only three concertos, but each is a masterwork of its kind, frequently played and audience favourites.
The Cello Concerto is the best and most popular in its genre, a dramatic and sweeping display of romantic passion, the Piano Concerto and Violin Concerto are strong and virtuoso works, with hints of the rich folklore of Dvořák's home country Bohemia.
Reissue from the rich Vox catalogue, featuring excellent soloists of international fame: cellist Sara Nelsova, pianist Rudolf Firkusny and violinist Ruggiero Ricci.
"The Violin and Cello Concertos, superbly played, have long been audience favourites, but the rarely-heard Piano Concerto in G minor - eloquently played by its foremost champion - is the USP." (BBC Music)
