Steven Isserlis Plays Dvořák
Organised by Southbank Centre
Acclaimed for his profound musicianship and technical mastery, cellist Steven Isserlis plays Dvorák's passionate Cello Concerto with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
British cellist Steven Isserlis enjoys a distinguished career as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, author and broadcaster.
Tonight he performs Dvorák's Cello Concerto, one of the best-loved works in the orchestral repertoire.
Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is masterful music from a composer at the top of his game.
Brahms called it ‘my sad symphony’, but this modest adjective belies the composer’s emotional range and consummate structural skill.
His friend, the critic Eduard Hanslick, put it better: ‘It is like a dark well; the longer we look into it, the more brightly the stars shine back.’
Jordan de Souza, who conducted the Philharmonia in Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier at Garsington Opera last year, makes his Royal Festival Hall debut.
