Romanticism – Grieg, Dvořák and Tchaikovsky

Shouldn't we get carried away by the extremely powerful musical motifs or melt away listening to the melodies gently finding their way to our hearts? Of course, we should! The Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra intends to achieve just that with the programme compiled from the best-known Romantic compositions. Among the three great Romantic masters, there is a Czech composer whose name might sound somewhat unknown. Josef Suk, however, does belong to the 'family', Dvořák’s family: first, he was Dvořák's student, and then later, he joined privately as well. At the age of 19, he managed to write his Saranade in a nearly perfect Dvořákian style as the follower of his future father-in-law.
