Ellen Taafe Zwilich declared her popular Concerto Grosso 1985 as a “20th century response to the spirit of Handel,” created for his 300th birthday celebration. Inspired by Handel’s Violin Sonata in D, in serves as a fitting precursor to Mendelssohn’s exquisite and romantic Violin Concerto in E minor. Dvořák’s pastoral Eighth Symphony vividly depicts Czech songs and dances through rich, pleasing melodic harmonies.
