CLASSICAL CORNERSTONES
Elgar's Cello Concerto, completed in 1919, was rarely performed until the 1960s when Jacqueline du Prés recording became a bestseller. Since then, this lyrical and passionate work has become a cornerstone of the cello repertoire. Dvoráks Symphony #9, composed in 1893, was influenced by Native American songs and African American spirituals. Known also as the New World Symphony, it is one of the most often performed and beloved symphonies in the world.

Elgar, Cello Concerto in E minor, Opus 85
Dvorák, Symphony #9 in E minor, Opus 95 From the New World
