Dvořák Symphony No. 8 (36’)
Artists
Valentina Peleggi, Conductor
Ben Goldscheider, Horn
Strange but true: they used to call Dvořák’s Eighth his ‘English’ symphony. Yet its lilting melodies and exuberant dance rhythms could hardly be more Czech – the sound of a composer who’s thoroughly at home, and loving it. Pure sunshine, in other words, and in the hands of conductor Valentina Peleggi it’s a gloriously tuneful climax to a concert that begins with Mozart’s comedy overture and stars the internationally-acclaimed young British horn player Ben Goldscheider in Richard Strauss’s playful Second Horn Concerto. They said it was impossible to play, but for Ben Goldscheider it’s not just possible – it’s fun.
