Program notes

The fifth concert of the inaugural “Svetlanov – Universe!” Festival in November of 2018 put the cello in the spotlight in two symphonic works: Bloch’s Schelomo: Hebrew Rhapsody and Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, Op. 47, both for cello and orchestra. Cellist Alexander Kniazev performs both of these works with incredible talent and enthusiasm. Also on the program were Svetlanov’s own Poem for Violin and Orchestra—dedicated to the memory of David Oistrakh and performed by the excellent Dmitri Makhtin—and the 1957 version of Stravinsky’s Petrushka in the evening’s crowning work.
