Penned in New York and later reworked in Bohemia, Dvor¡ák's Cello Concerto won instant admiration, not least from Brahms: 'Why on earth didn't I know that one could write a cello concerto like this? If I had only known I would have written one a long time ago!'.
"[Julian Lloyd Webber's] account of the great Dvor¡ák Concerto is full of passionate feeling, with a tender Adagio. Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic give him thoroughly persuasive backing." — Gramophone
