Lutosławski’s Cello Concerto was premiered in 1970 by the legendary Mstislav Rostropovich. This striking work will be performed here by Nicolas Altstaedt, one of today’s outstanding cellists. Alstaedt fell in love with Lutosławski’s music as a child. At the age of 20, he used his free time to fulfil his dream of learning the piece, which has been integral to his career and which we’ll hear here in a programme that also includes the Overture op. 21 by Szymanowski and the New World Symphony by Dvořák.
