Sommerkonzert by Dvořák, Britten, Bartók, Alates (2023/2023), Dirigent Edward Gardner, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, Germany

Few cello concertos have achieved universal status, and Antonín Dvořák's is definitely one of them. Written in 1894/95 during his stay in the USA, it soon found many admirers. Two ballet suites from the early and mid-20th century complement the program: a sequence of pieces from Britten's only ballet »The Prince of the Pagodas«, which premiered in 1957, and the suite for Bartók's dance pantomime »The Wonderful Mandarin«, which caused a theater scandal in 1926 due to its uncompromising modernity triggered, but today is one of the classics.
