From Bohemia鈥檚 woods and meadows: Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 Sixth Symphony is part homage to Brahms, part celebration of the sounds of rural Bohemia, and all Dvo艡谩k. Certainly, few romantic symphonies manage to be so sunny at the same time as being quite so powerful, and under Thomas Dausgaard, the 成人快手 SSO鈥檚 new Chief Conductor, it鈥檒l sound as fresh as new. It鈥檚 an exuberant finish to a programme that begins with Michael Tippett鈥檚 radiant vision of rebirth and renewal on a summer night. Bruch鈥檚 ever popular First Violin Concerto is an ideal vehicle for Daniel Hope鈥檚 stellar technique and searching musical intelligence.
