Written in 1957. It's one of his most popular works. Even if it's altogether more light-hearted than most of his other music. It was written for and premiered by his own. Its popularity can be attributed to his exercise to the listener and the young pianist. The two outer movements are rapid and combine much like a playful theme and the slow movement in the middle, although melancholic in the field. It all combines to make it an easy listener. And you're unlikely to get a more authentic version of this. Because their approaches are almost identical. The beautiful repetitive theme broken by the Tony Patrick before returning to the original. But I loved it inherently. Sadly, the female pianist is not identified. But the sound of the cello is unmistakable in the hands of Jacqueline Dupree. Isn't that just the most lovely sound? In eighteen eighty-three Devorjak wrote his much loved schetzo capriccioso. The title is suggestive of joy and high spirits, but it's not quite how it comes out. It's lively in parts, certainly, but it feels more agitated and restless than it does straightforward happy. It is, however, full of Devorjak's trademark melodies and comes to a fairly ecstatic conclusion, as demonstrated here by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Itsvan Kartesh.
