About this album
Szell and Fournier give Dvořák’s Cello Concerto a noble, lyrical reading that highlights why the work became one of the Romantic era’s great showpieces. Composed in 1894–95, the concerto combines sweeping orchestral writing with a solo part of unusual emotional range, from the opening Allegro’s urgency to the deeply felt Adagio ma non troppo and the broad Finale. Pierre Fournier’s refined tone and George Szell’s exacting control bring clarity, balance and dramatic poise to the score, with the Berliner Philharmoniker providing a disciplined, richly coloured orchestral setting. It is a classic interpretation of one of Dvořák’s best-loved works.
