PRAGUE, CZECHIA – CZECH PHILHARMONIC – ELGAR, STRAVINSKY

Sol Gabetta, cello
Czech Philharmonic
Semyon Bychkov, conductor

Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85
Stravinsky: Pulcinella, a concert performance of the ballet music

VENUE NOTE:
The star cellist Sol Gabetta calls Elgar’s Cello Concerto her very favourite work in the genre. Contrasting with that work’s gloomy atmosphere under the influence of the First World War is Pulcinella, Stravinsky’s ballet with singing from the same period. Everything will be played under the baton of chief conductor Semyon Bychkov.
