ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK (1841 – 1904)Symphony No. 7 in D minor, op. 70

The Russian conductor, Daniel Raiskin is famous for his original programmes and rich, dynamic interpretations of a very broad  repertoire; those features, among others, have rendered him very popular between orchestras and audiences at an international level. Of course, it is with great interest that we expect the collaboration of the world famous Latvian violinist, Gidon Kremer and his compatriot cellist, Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė, founding member of the Kremerata Baltica and frequent collaborator of Kremer’s in chamber music concerts. The performance of Variation 21 by Konstantina Gourzi, a precious composer and tiredless conductor with a huge work and recognition within the European musical world cannot be overlooked.

Fantastic first half! Good having seen him.
