Haydn's Symphony no. 82 and his five other Parisian symphonies are among the absolute best in the genre. Parisian audiences nicknamed no. 82 The (Dancing) Bear, because of the growling cello and the heavy double bass in its finale. Dvořák's Symphony no. 7 – an ode to his native Bohemia (now a part of the Czech Republic) – exudes a romance redolent of Bohemian forests. Discover this wonderfully fragrant piece of nature with Kavakos.
