大象传媒 Proms 2008:
A Prom with Jiri Belohlavek conducting the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in music from his Czech homeland. With Dvorak's 16 Slavonic Dances, which began life as piano duets before his publisher persuaded him to orchestrate them - to huge success.
Plus Janacek's rarely-heard, semi autobiographical opera Osud (Fate), about the writing of an opera telling the story of the composer Zivny and his lover Mila, both the object of his obsessive love and the subject of his work. Starring tenor Stefan Margita and soprano Amanda Roocroft. Introduced by Donald McLeod.
