Dvorak: Piano Concerto, Violin Concerto / Noseda
) | Label: CHANDOS Catalog: CHAN10309 Format: CD When Gianandrea Noseda was appointed Chief Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic, great things were expected - the reputation of this young conductor preceded him. What was less expected was the diversity of repertoire that he would conduct, with equal success. His releases for Chandos, from Prokofiev to Dallapiccola, routinely pick up accolades from the critics. This disc features two of Dvorák's neglected concertos, performed with great elan by soloists James Ehnes and Rustem Hayroudinoff. Both works have been overshadowed by Dvorák's more popular Cello Concerto in B minor, but, as is apparent from this recording, both are delightful pieces full of Slavic colour and folk rhythms, and characteristics of Dvorák at his best.
