The influence of folk-song shines through this programme full of rich melody. The immediately recognizable tune of Smetana's Vltava, which takes us on a journey from the source of a river to the sea is followed by Bartok's Second Violin Concerto, a work whose lyricism, warmth and richly idiomatic violin writing belie the techniques used in the piece. Dvorak's final Symphony fuses folk-song idioms from old and new worlds, leaving its unforgettable tunes hanging in the air.
