B Minor. Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Like every other great 19th-century solo concerto, Dvorák ’s famous Cello Concerto was a collaboration between composer and virtuoso. It has long been known that certain solo passages in Dvorák ’s autograph score were actually written by the cellist Hanuš Wihan; but Bärenreiter’s edition now reveals that some details in the Orchestral parts are also in his writing, showing just how closely the two musicians were working together. The editor Jonathan Del Mar has painstakingly examined all the surviving sources, including two that have hitherto been either ignored or crucially undervalued, in order to produce anauthoritative edition which restores – for the first time since the original edition was published in 1896 - Dvorák ’s final and definitive version of the solo Cello part. This differs, in details, in almost every bar from the version found in all other modern editions, while hundreds of corrections have also been made to the Orchestral parts. - With Dvorák ’s final and definitive version of the solo Cello part. - With hundreds of corrections in the solo Cello part as well as the Orchestral parts. - With hitherto unknown details regarding the collaboration between Dvorák and Wihan. - With Dvorák ’s original Piano reduction. - With Feuermann's and Casals' alternatives to a passage in the first movement. - Full score, performance material (BA9045), Cello & Piano (BA9045-90) & Facsimile (BVK1849) available for sale./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The piano reduction, which was prepared by the composer himself, has been edited according to text-critical criteria for the first time as well. Döge was able to rely on a renowned performer for this part of his work: Heinrich Schiff, who arranged the solo part and provides valuable interpretative tips in his commentaries on performance practice./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre
