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
