Act 2 of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte, plus Czech music. Mozart: Cosi fan tutte (Act 2). Dvorak: String Quartet. Mahler: Symphony No 10. Janacek: The Cunning Little Vixen.

The conclusion of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte if followed by the final part of our mini-festival of music-making from the Czech Republic. There's a late quartet by Dvorak and the moving conclusion of one of Janacek's greatest operas. Between them comes more 'late' music by a composer whose origins are as Bohemian as Dvorak - Gustav Mahler.
