Composer:
Antonin Dvorak

Artist(s):
Gautier Capucon

Conductor:
Paavo Jarvi

Background: For his second solo recording, after his critically acclaimed recording of Haydn's Cello Concertos, Gautier Capuçon tackles Dvorak's masterpiece for cello (his only cello concerto), and couples it with that of an unfortunately under-reputed composer of the era.

Dvorák wrote the concerto while in New York for his third term as the Director of the National Conservatory after having listened to Victor Herbert's (a fellow teacher at the Conservatory) second cello concerto in 1894. Up till then Dvorák had always refused, stating that the cello was a fine orchestral instrument but totally insufficient for a solo concerto.Victor August Herbert (1859-1924) was a cellist, conductor and composer of light opera.
