Garry Walker conducts Dvorak's Symphony No.7 October 21, 2008

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

CONDUCTOR - Garry Walker
Piano - Daniel De Borah

- SIBELIUS Pelléas et Mélisande Suite
- BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No.4
- DVORAK Symphony No.7

Included within the potent music that Sibelius composed for the play Pelléas et Mélisande is At the Castle Gate, the signature tune for Patrick Moore’s long-running BBC television series, The Sky at Night. Both tonight’s piano concerto and symphony are masterpieces in their respective genres; Beethoven’s poetic, searching and light-hearted concerto providing the perfect contrast to Dvorak’s impassioned, and arguably greatest symphony, brimful with lyricism and emotion, and imbued with Bohemian traits of song and dance.

This concert is in association with the Young Concert Artists Trust.
