Antonín Dvořák
Streicherserenade E-Dur op. 22

The programme focuses on George Frideric Handel’s concertos, which still radiate fresh splendour and nobility even after 300 years. These works are framed by Antonín Dvořák’s famous string serenade and Robert Schumann’s ‘Pictures from the East’. This poem, which wanders into romantic faraway places, has been rediscovered in an arranged version by the Festival Strings Lucerne under the direction of Daniel Dodds. The internationally acclaimed orchestra plays it on its numerous tours and recently produced the CD ‘Eastbound’ with it, which received excellent reviews.
