Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante is a wealth of beautiful melodies, many of them lyrical in the twists that precisely emphasize the cello's foremost character traits. The work plays on the whole spectrum of the instrument's possibilities, and the orchestration is beautifully balanced against the solo cello. The shooting star Sandra Lied Haga with her warm sound and great talent has already entered the international scene and excited a lot. Dvořák's Symphony No. 7 is considered by many to be his greatest work. It is the most dramatic of the symphonies he composed, but although it is intense in its expressiveness, it is also tenderness and warmth there, and beautiful melodic themes that touch and move us.
