Dvořák's Cello Concerto
Truls Mørk moves the audience with Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, followed by Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony and Kodály’s warm, dancing finale.
How much emotion can one take? This concert opens with Dvořák’s profoundly heartfelt Cello Concerto, performed by Truls Mørk. “Perhaps the greatest living cellist,” according to Het Parool, “his masterful playing makes the beauty of the music almost unbearable.” And then Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony is still to come. Kodály picks up the thread in a reflective mood, lets the sun break through, and finally sends us home dancing.

And go home dancing.

Truls Mørk's big-toned, clean-edged playing made for a muscular performance, always carefully controlled yet bristling with angry passion just beneath the surface.
