'Symphony No.7 in D Minor', Dvorák |
| Performance Notes | When the London Philharmonic Society asked Dvorák for a new symphony in 1884, the composer knew he had to deliver something special. In the resulting Seventh, the doubts and frustrations Dvorák experienced as a composer are defeated by music that triumphs compellingly over its own nervous energy, bursting into radiant brightness in its final bars. Tonight, Dvoráks most fascinating symphony is heard after Malcolm Hayess new concerto, a work inspired by the mood and atmosphere of the Outer Hebrides, and performed by former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Tai Murray. Bartóks colourful Dance Suite, featuring Hungarian and Arabic folk melodies, opens the concert.
