Vaughan Williams – Oboe Concerto
Dvořák – Serenade for Strings
Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings has long been one of the most celebrated works in the string orchestra repertoire, beloved for its long-breathed melodies and rustic Czech charm. It was one of the first works the ESO ever played following their founding in 1980 and one of the first works the ESO recorded. Grażyna Bacewicz was, quite simply, one of the 20th Century’s greatest composers, whose music is finally taking its rightful place alongside that of her peers like Shostakovich. Her Concerto for String Orchestra pulsates with rhythmic energy and the power of folk-inspired melodies. Vaughan Williams’ beautiful Oboe Concerto is possibly the finest concertante work written for that instrument, heard here in a performance by the works’ leading advocate, Nicholas Daniel.
