Program:
Dohnanyi: Symphonic Minutes
Dvorak: Violin Concerto
Dvorak: Symphony No. 8
Description:
Putting together an orchestra program is a bit like asking a couple of cooks into the kitchen. The Orchestra administration might want to program something that’ll make for good box office; the soloist might want to suggest the new concerto she or he’s been working up; and then there’s the conductor... When Iván Fischer agreed to conduct The Cleveland Orchestra for this concert, he wanted to shake things up a bit. So, he picked a piece that the Orchestra had never played before, and one that would offer a nice sharp contrast to Dvorak's popular Eighth Symphony. He chose the whimsical Symphonic Minutes by Erno Dohnanyi.
