Dvořak’s Cello Concerto, written in America in the mid-1890s, has an underlying mood of elegiac yearning, speaking of deep feelings for a dying sister-in-law. Her favourite Dvořák song is movingly quoted in both the adagio and the finale’s revised coda. Nielsen, the major Danish 20th century symphonist, is doubly represented by his Helios Overture and the Fourth Symphony. The Inextinguishable, composed in 1915 with a continuous span of four movements, affirms the craving for life against a background of menacing violence.
