Gabriel Martins, Cello PROKOFIEV Symphony No. 1, “Classical” HAYDN Cello Concerto No. 1 TCHAIKOVSKY Variations on a Rococo Theme STRAVINSKY Firebird Suite The works on this concert represent tradition, revival, and rebirth. Laying the foundation is Haydn’s Cello Concerto (1765), regarded as one of the greatest works for cello of the Classical Era. Building on this are Tchaikovsky’s beloved Rococo Variations (1877), inspired by the composer’s admiration for the great Classicist Mozart, and Prokofiev’s reinvention of the Classical style in his famous First Symphony (1917). Rounding out the evening is music by Prokofiev’s contemporary Stravinsky, whose Firebird (1910) symbolizes beauty, magic, and rebirth.
