Antonín Dvořák
Cello Concerto
Maurice Ravel
Kaddish
Johannes Brahms
Symphony No. 3
Soloist: Michal Balas
Conductor: John Warner
The second symphony concert, in which the symphonists perform Joseph-Maurice Ravel's "Kaddish" – a setting of the most important prayer in Judaism – oscillates between major and minor, hard and soft, exhilaration and sadness on November 9th. Also featured is Antonín Dvořák's now-famous Cello Concerto in B minor, which the composer created under the influence of great grief for his childhood sweetheart, Josefine. A fluctuation between major and minor, tension and relaxation, characterizes Johannes Brahms's Third Symphony. “… all movements seem to be cast from one piece, a heartbeat, each movement a jewel!” praised Clara Schumann in 1884.
