Jan谩膷ek: Taras Bulba

Johannes Moser, cello
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Kirill Karabits, conductor

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra returns under Chief Conductor Kirill Karabits to recall memories of music past. In Mason Bates鈥檚 evocative Auditorium, the orchestra is 鈥榩ossessed鈥 by a ghostly Baroque ancestor. Jan谩膷ek鈥檚 rhapsodic suite Taras Bulba looks back to Czech folk music in three battle-charged episodes from Gogol鈥檚 novella. The bittersweet, poignant beauty of Elgar鈥檚 Cello Concerto draws on another conflict: the cataclysmic loss and suffering of the First World War.
