BBC PROMS 2011 Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London Presented by Tom Service A Czech evening with Dvorak's Cello Concerto and a Proms first performance for the six symphonic poems of Má vlast by Smetana. Dvorák's Cello Concerto is full of melody and heartfelt sentiment, to which French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras will bring both youthful urgency and intimacy, if his recording with tonight's conductor is anything to go by. The work is widely regarded as the finest concerto ever written for the instrument. Nostalgia turns to nationalism in the second half, with Smetana's Má vlast - a glorious musical touchstone for 'the resurrection of the Czech nation, its future happiness and glory'. Dvorák: Cello Concerto in B minor Jean-Guihen Queyras (cello) BBC Symphony Orchestra Jiri Belohlávek (conductor)
