Raphael Jouan- Antonin Dvorak: Cello Concerto, Rondo, From the Bohemian Forest (Waldesruhe)

It was on American soil that Antonín Dvo?ák (1841–1904) began the composition of his Cello Concerto. Free of all prejudice, he had taken a keen interest in Amerindian and Afro-American cultures during his long stay in the United States of America.
Moving between classical, jazz, improvisation, and world music as part of his trio or his duo with accordion, Raphaël Jouan could not but be receptive to the open-mindedness of the Czech composer. And when, for his recording debut with orchestra, he decided to measure himself against this emblematic work, it was in order to live a collective adventure, under the sign of sharing, with musicians close to his heart.
