Prague Symphony Orchestra
Hear Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony played with authentic Bohemian style by this great Czech orchestra – plus the wonderful Gabriela Montero as soloist in Prokofiev’s sparkling concerto.
Some pieces are classics for a reason, and with its drama, emotion and unforgettable tunes, Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony has been packing out concert halls for well over a century. Still, however well you think you know it, there’s always something especially magical about hearing Czech music played by a genuine Czech orchestra.
The Prague Symphony Orchestra definitely has that special Bohemian lilt, and under its popular principal guest conductor Tomáš Brauner, this should also be a uniquely authentic performance of The Noonday Witch – Dvořák’s spine-tingling retelling of a Czech ghost story.
In between, the inimitable, irrepressible Gabriela Montero plays Prokofiev’s sparkling Third Piano Concerto. Few living pianists are bolder or more inventive – so expect sparks to fly.
