In the 1920s and 30s, an exodus of composers escaping religious and political persecutions created the sound of Hollywood, and some of classical music’s biggest names, Stravinsky chief among them, headed to Los Angeles in their wake. Half a century earlier, Dvorák left Prague to head for a new life in New York, and while there poured his longing for his Czech homeland into his Cello Concerto.
Part of the City of London Sinfonia's Émigré festival.
