The best concerts from Europe and beyond, with Kate Molleson. Tonight we're in Prague with an orchestra established by the conductor Jiri Belohlavek, the Prague Philharmonia, and it is now establishing a great reputation worldwide. Since 2015 it has been led by its principle conductor Emmanuel Villaume.

Tonight's concert could be about 2 cities, Vienna and Prague, featuring works by Zemlinsky - forever associated with Vienna's musical experimentation of the early 1900's and Mozart's Prague symphony, first performed in 1787 in the one city in that always gave Mozart the warmest welcome. And in between, orchestra songs by Rachmaninov filled with nostalgia for a Russia he could only return to in song.
