On a lovely Sunday afternoon, I went to Salle Pleyel to hear the winners of the Rostropovich Cello Competition perform. After a week of competing against high caliber cellists, the top four laureates each performed a piece. Among the pieces performed were a modern piece (I forgot the name of the composer), Popper's Elfentanz, Bach Suite No. 1, and the first prize winner performed the entire Dvorak Cello Concerto with the Orchestra of Paris.
