HAYDN: Overture from L'isola Disabitata
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op 93
ELGAR: Concerto for Cello, Op 85
STEVEN DOANE, Cello

Our 38th Season opens with two incredibly passionate composers as we present Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 and Elgar's Cello Concerto, performed by Steven Doane. (see full bio below) Often considered a misunderstood work, this symphony was one that Beethoven considered to be better than his previous symphonies, despite their incredibly widespread acclaim. And Elgar's concerto is remarkable for a number of reasons, starting with its very first notes, played only by the solo cello, that immediately draw in listeners.

STEVEN DOANE BIO:

Steven Doane and Eastman pianist Barry Snyder have made a series of recordings for the Bridge label. The duo's recording of the complete music of Gabriel Fauré for cello and piano was awarded the Diapason D'or in France, and has been broadcast throughout the United States and Canada, over the BBC in England, and throughout Europe. The second recording in the series, of works by Britten and Frank Bridge, was also released to critical acclaim. New releases on Bridge include the Rachmaninoff Sonata with Barry Snyder (May 2012) and Britten Solo Suites (due for release in 2013).
