Recent recordings of the Elgar and Dvořák cello concertos have propelled young American cellist Alisa Weilerstein into a fully fledged musical star. She makes her second visit to the Proms with the Dvořák – one of the great Romantic concertos. The composer sets his soloist against an unusually prominent orchestra, here the forces of the Czech Philharmonic, returning under Chief Conductor Jiří Bělohlávek. After the interval Bělohlávek directs Beethoven’s ‘apotheosis of the dance’ – Wagner’s expression referring to the rhythmic verve of the Seventh Symphony. The evening opens with the authentic Czech soundscape of Janáček, in the overture from his final opera.
Seats £9.50 to £46 (plus booking fee).
