Sergei Rachmaninov 'Aleko' - Introduction, Women's Dance, Men's Dance
Antonín Dvořák Symphony No.8 in G major, Op.88
Lee Reynolds conductor
Between the restless 7th symphony and beloved 9th sits Dvořák’s Symphony No.8, a work of sunny exuberance filled with Bohemian folk melodies, heartfelt nostalgia, trumpet fanfares, musical thunderstorms, and birdsong.
“Melodies simply pour out of me”, proclaimed Dvořák whilst writing this cheerful and optimistic work. Bringing this flow of melodies to life, Southbank Sinfonia is joined by students from Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School.
