Masters of Romanticism

Dvořák struggled with his Cello Concerto just as much as Brahms did with his First Symphony. Yet the result was two highlights of the Romantic repertoire. Under the baton of its charismatic conductor Andris Nelsons, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, one of the oldest and most highly regarded orchestras in the world, continues its tradition of excellence with Brahms’ magnificent First Symphony. Gautier Capuçon, the world-renowned cellist, accompanies the orchestra and performs the moving Cello Concerto, imbued with Slavic nostalgia.
