Dvo艡谩k, Kabel谩膷 and Shostakovich

Jakub Hrusa conducts the Philharmonia in music by Dvorak, Kabelac and Shostakovich.

Recorded at the Royal festival Hall, London on 22 November.

Presented by Martin Handley

Jakub Hr暖拧a conducts the Philharmonia in music by Dvo艡谩k, Kabel谩膷 and Shostakovich.

Kabel谩膷: The Mystery of Time

Shostakovich: Piano Concerto No. 2

8.15: Interval

Dvo艡谩k: Slavonic Dances, Op.46

Simon Trp膷eski piano
Jakub Hr暖拧a conductor

Jakub Hr暖拧a conducts music by two of his Czech fellow-countrymen, alongside Shostakovich鈥檚 ever-popular Second Piano Concerto.

Before Dvo艡脿k鈥檚 ebullient first set of Slavonic Dances, the work that set him on the road to international success, Jakub Hr暖拧a introduces the music of a less familiar compatriot, Miloslav Kabel谩膷. Acknowledged as a worthy 20th century successor of Dvo艡脿k, Kabel谩膷 was silenced by the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
The Mystery of Time distils into 25 minutes a musical vision stretching 鈥榝rom the infinite past to the infinite future鈥�. Ethereal sounds emerge tentatively out of nothing, repeated motifs build up layers in a slow, inexorable crescendo, and then subside back into silence.

2 hours, 28 minutes
