Dvořák: Symphony No. 8

In 2016, James Girling won the RNCM Gold Medal Competition, the conservatoire’s most prestigious award. As a result, he gave his Wigmore Hall debut solo recital on classical guitar in 2017. Following performances of Rodrigo’s Fantasía para un Gentilhombre, James Girling made his Concierto de Aranjuez debut with orchestra in 2019. James has been awarded the Biddy Baxter and John Hosier Music Trust’s Special Award, the Emscote bursary from Edward Dusinberre of the Takács Quartet, Hilda Anderson Deane Award for all-round excellence, a Countess of Munster Musical Trust Award and Help Musicians Postgraduate Awards.

Composed in 1954 for guitarist Andrés Segovia, Fantasía para un gentilhombre (Fantasia for a Gentleman) was premiered by Segovia and The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Enrique Jordá.

Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 is cheery and lyrical and draws its inspiration from the Bohemian folk music that he loved.
