London Philharmonic Orchestra / Nicolas Altstaedt / Edward Gardner by Dvořák, Stravinsky, De (2023/2023), Director musical Edward Gardner, Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, Germany

Nicolas Altstaedt is one of the most versatile cellists of our time. Without being restricted by epochal boundaries, he plays his way through the entire cello literature - and at the highest level. Together with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Edward Gardner, Altstaedt devotes himself to what is probably the most romantic work for his instrument: Antonín Dvořák's Cello Concerto. It is pure passion, which is continued in the concert performance of the ballet »Petruschka« that follows. In this work, Igor Stravinsky brilliantly manages to pour the hustle and bustle of the fair, the frenzy of love and even a murder out of jealousy into music. A thrilling experience even without dancers!
