Programme overview
Following his inspired performance in the 2009-2010 season, Dutch cellist Pieter Wispelwey returns to direct both Haydn cello concerti in this concert.
An eagerly anticipated performance, Gramophone magazine wrote of his playing, '.another ear-opening performance... with a warmth and depth of tone which really sings'.
Dvorák's Serenade, rarely performed by the RTÉ NSO, provides an opportunity for orchestra members, directed by John Finucane, to perform a large-scale chamber work and showcase the musical talents within.
