Gautier Capuçon is accompanied by Paavo Järvi who directs the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Dvořák wrote the concerto while in New York for his third term as the Director of the National Conservatory, after having listened to Victor Herbert’s (a fellow teacher at the Conservatory) second cello concerto in 1894. Until then, Dvořák had always refused, stating that the cello was a fine orchestral instrument but totally insufficient for a solo concerto.
Victor August Herbert (February 1, 1859 – May 26, 1924) was a cellist, conductor and composer of light opera. His second Cello Concerto is a new asset to Virgin Classics’ catalogue and quite rarely recorded.
‘Gautier Capuçon plays the cello with the control and wisdom of a much older musician. The lightness of his touch and the consistent clarity of his bow strokes are quite admirable in themselves, but when combined with an uncanny sweetness of tone in the higher registers they are breathtaking.’ - Gramophone
