Smetana: Overture ‘The Bartered Bride’
Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat
Dvorak: Symphony No. 8 in G major
Ian Fountain - piano
Worthing Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: John Gibbons
Two effervescent Czech works frame one of the grandest of all piano concertos, famed for its mixture of serenity and power. It also includes memorable melodies for solo cello and horn. Dvorak’s most ebullient and sunny symphony sounds the season off in triumphant style.
