	Dvorak Cello (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Antonin Dvorak, born in Nlahozeves, Czechoslovakia was the eldest son of Frantisek, the local butcher and innkeeper, and Anna, the daughter of an estate steward.
		Dvorak completed his Cello Concerto in that same year for his friend Hans Wihan - the sketches for the Concerto were in his luggage on his return from New York.
		The Cello Concerto is a fine example this talent; set in three contrasted movements, it displays power in the first, warm lyricism in the second and bravura in the third.

	Antonin Dvorak - NPRN Composer of the Month
		Dvorak left the orchestra in 1871, when he was 30, in order to have more time for composition, but that meant that for a number of years his income was meager and primarily the result of teaching (and he did have a church job for three years beginning in 1874).
		Dvorak rocketed to fame on the shoulders of his first set of Slavonic Dances, published in 1878; once these were overwhelmingly successful Simrock was always eager to publish more works by Dvorak, and once his music was published Dvorak did not need to work so hard to promote his music.
		Dvorak's role was to be a figurehead for the conservatory and to see what he could do to help found a national school (in the larger sense) of composition.

	Reviews: Dvorak/Herbert CD
		Dvorak, who (Folkman reports) had considered the cello unsuited to the solo role in a full-length concerto, was so impressed by Herbert's score (and perhaps his playing as well) that he had a change of heart and set about writing his own concerto.
		His Cello Concerto in E minor is a worthy contribution to the Romantic repertoire for his instrument: beautifully orchestrated and boasting good ideas (if without the unforgettable melodies and sheer genius of the Dvorak).
		The greatest of romantic cello scores is the Opus 104 Concerto for Cello and Orchestra in B minor by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904).

	Music 33: The Cello, 1700-1900
		The viola da gamba is seen as the "cello" of the Renaissance period, as it is similar in size, shape, and pitch range to the cello.
		Concertos for the cello are among the most recognizable pieces in classical music and this website includes clips of four of the major ones: the Dvorak, Haydn D Major, Schumann, and Saint-Saens.
		The Dvorak Concerto for Cello and Orchestra is a particularly special piece, as it is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the cello realm.

	Cello Concerto (Dvořák) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antonín Dvořák's Cello Concerto in B minor, Opus 104 is one of the most well-known cello concerti.
		Wihan, among others, had asked for a cello concerto for quite some time, but Dvořák always refused, stating that the cello was a fine orchestral instrument but totally insufficient for a solo concerto.
		Wihan suggested several changes to the score of the concerto, the most notorious of which was the cadenza at the end of the third movement.

	DVORAK ~ NOTES Page ~ aMUSIClassical Directory
		Perhaps the greatest of all the cello concertos; this one, in b minor, op 104, was composed during his final years in the United States, 1892 to 1895.
		Dvorak came to the USA in 1892 to work for patroness Jeanette Thurber as director of her conservatory of music in NYC.
		The Dvorak Sonatina in G major for violin and piano was written in the USA while he was director of the National Cnservatory of Music in NYC.

		Concerto For Cello And Orchestra In B Minor, Op.
		The acnowledged master of the cello, Mstislav Rostropovich, much like jazz piano virtuoso Oscar Peterson, grunts and plays his way through what I feel to be the greatest of the romantic concertos for cello.
		This one may not outshine all others, however, it is a recording of this concerto that demands to be heard and fully deserves to be considered a classic.

	Dvorak Cello Concerto in A major Steven Isserlis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Dvorak Cello Concerto in A major Steven Isserlis (Cello)/Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment/Jarvi Queen Elizabeth Hall, London 22 March 2000
		Dvorak's Cello Concerto in A major (1865) fits into all three of those categories, but that didn't dissuade the German composer and musicologist Gunter Raphael, in the 1920s, from unearthing it in the first place; and, what's more, abridging and orchestrating it.
		Dvorak's first two Symphonies were composed either side of his A major Cello Concerto, yet the orchestra plays no part in Dvorak's version (or rather 'plan') for his Concerto, which exists with piano accompaniment only; and, in sketch form, apparently runs to some eighty minutes in duration.

	Another Dvorak Cello Concerto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		"Concerto in A Major dates from the period of Dvorak's engagement as a violist in the Provisional Theatre Orchestra.
		The new orchestration, in the spirit of Dvorak's style of the time, is by Jamil Burhgauser.
		The score shows that Dvorak was perfectly aware of the technical and sound potential of the instrument, and even now the work does not fail to fascinate with its emotional vigour and inventive melodic line.

	Program Notes - 9/23/99
		A prime motivator for Dvorak's Cello Concerto was Victor Herbert- the same Victor Herbert who later won renown as the composer of some of the best-loved Operettas of the early 20th Century.
		Dvorak attended that performance and was deeply impressed with the musical potential afforded by the combination of solo Cello and Orchestra.
		The Fifth Symphony was an uncommonly crucial one for Tchaikovsky; at a Moscow performance of his Violin Concerto in 1882, one critic suggested that Tchaikovsky was "written out", and that his music was tired, uninspired, and the work of a man past his creative prime.

	Elgar - His Music : Cello Concerto - A Musical Tour
		Elgar does the musical equivalent at the opening of the Cello Concerto, placing the listener in the middle of things from the work's opening bars.This is not the way concertos are supposed to begin.
		This main theme is passed from orchestra to cello and back again, becoming more anguished with each restatement, until it finally returns on the cello in the same subdued manner in which we heard it first.
		Now the cello begins an extended soliloquy that is the concerto's core, just as the cadenza of the Violin Concerto is the core of that work.

	Antonin Dvorak Cello Concerto In B minor, Op. 104 by Wayne Donnelly
		Antonin Dvorak Cello Concerto In B minor, Op.
		This 1954 Decca/London recording of the crown jewel of the cello concerto repertoire restores a truly memorable performance, with the old reliable ffrr sonics polished to a burnished glow.
		Fournier has always been a great cellist, but I think credit for the special eloquence of his playing here must be shared with the inspired contributions of Kubelik and the orchestra.

		She died while the composer was writing his cello concerto, and the references to the song memorialize her in music.
		The substitution of Vogler's cello forces Kirchschlager at one point to take both parts (fortunately, consecutive), but it's the place where the lovers disagree whether the bird they hear is the nightingale (so they have time for more sugar) or the lark (in which case Romeo's got to leave).

	Dvorák: Cello Concerto - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Dvorák's Cello Concerto, composed during his second stay in America, is one of the most popular works in the orchestral repertoire.
		This guide explores Dvorák's reasons for composing a concerto for an instrument which he at one time considered unsuitable for solo work, its relationship to his American period compositions and how it forms something of a bridge with his operatic interests.
		A particular focus is the concerto's unique qualities: why it stands apart in terms of form, melodic character and texture from the rest of Dvorák's orchestral music.

		While making an etude out of bits of the concerto may get around the immediate problem, you also run the danger of turning the Dvorak concerto or other such music into a "dreadful" etude.
		This concerto is over-played now and is danger of becoming another musical "warhorse" if it is not already one.
		I really love the dvorak concerto and it would be really terrible if I'd come to like it less because I made an etude out of it...

		Cello grumbles and pianistic ripples accompany Faust’s fervent playing for Dumka III, which soon becomes an Indian legend.

		The rubric for the recording is "Cello Classics New and Old." The Dvorak and the three pieces by Augusta Read Thomas were inscribed October 2003 at ChungShan Hall, Taiwan.
		The orchestral accompaniment is quite lush, and the resonance of the hall contributes to the acoustical ambiance of the collaboration.
		Sonically, the interplay between cello and flute, cello and oboe in the Adagio ma non troppo is rife with color, the tempos and phrasing reminiscent of Rostropovich's classic work with Vaclav Talich.

		The success of the concerto also rested in the capable hands of Alsop, who brought the orchestra to a high level of ensemble and clarity, while paying the most careful attention to the soloist (never rushing him or drowning him out).
		The audience may not have been packed with classical habitues (there was applause after the concerto's first movement), but they knew a master when they heard one.

		The German cellist Maria Kliegel has the enviable advantage of having studied the cello in America with the Hungarian cellist, Janos Starker and became his assistant.
		The Dvorák is the exact opposite of the Elgar since it is a masterpiece and probably the finest concerto written for the cello.
		In the exquisite and profoundly moving passages in the Dvorák there is a beautiful cello tone and the orchestral playing of quiet passages is a delight.

		Well, considering that RCA's roster of classical musicians was legendary in the Golden Era of recording in which this performance was recorded, we can say it is at least, in the handful of the best.
		Add to that, being a good friend and collaborator of Heifetz, Piatigorsky always felt a personal if somewhat romantic attachment to Dvorak's famed Cello concerto.
		Recorded in 1959 directly to three track with Munch conducting the BSO, the sound is as stellar as the performance.
