Today we are going to continue exploring the cello concertos of Victor Herbert. Last week I introduced his first cello concerto, but I have to confess it is his second cello concerto I really wanted you to listen to.
I love the adagio (part 2) of this three-part concerto, which starts at minute 9:10. It has a Dvořák feel to it, but not for the reason you may think. This terrific concerto was the inspiration for Antonín Dvořák’s cello concerto.
