The renowned Russian conductor Vassily Sinaisky, Gold Medal winner at the Karajan Competition, has held conducting posts with orchestras in half a dozen countries in addition to several in his native Russia. He brings to the NSO audience three Russian masterpieces, the ever popular Rococo Variations and Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra by Tchaikovsky, two staples in every cellist's repertory, and Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony – not one of his most famous, but the one many consider to be his best, and the only one by a famous composer in the rarely-used key of E-flat minor. To open the program, we go slightly west of Russia to Bohemia for Dvořák's exhilarating Carnival Overture.
