Dvořák Symphony No. 8
 
Twenty-five-year-old American virtuosa Alisa Weilerstein is featured in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, one of the most beloved concertos ever written. The pastoral Eighth Symphony is a late-Romantic treasure. A portrait of country life, complete with rustic dances and birdsong, this is one of the Czech composer’s most infectious and familiar works.
