Overview

Songs and dances marked every occasion of life in the Czech lands, from births, marriages and funerals to evenings in the local wine cellar and visits to country fairs.

Steven Isserlis and friends gather once more to revive the spirit of works created by composers raised on free-flowing melody. Their recital includes Pohádka for cello and piano, rooted in its composer’s passion for Slavic culture, and Dvorák’s majestic Second Piano Quintet.
