RSNO and Søndergård in shimmering Stravinsky and dark Dvořák at Edinburgh's Usher Hall

Alan Coady, 24th May

There’s something heartwarming in stories of friends’ differences resolved. Hanuš Wihan had requested a cello concerto of Dvořák, who declined on the grounds that, although a fine orchestral instrument, the cello was not suited to the solo spotlight. The change of heart, occasioned by Victor Herbert’s Second Cello Concerto, is to all our benefits.
