Starting a week with material from the Prague Spring International Festival 2019, plus other material recorded recently in the Czech Republic, today we feature a concert with promising young British conductor Ben Glassberg. He was at the helm of the Prague Philharmonia, as part of the Prague Spring Festival earlier this year to conduct Hypnos, a piece commissioned for the occasion by Czech composer 艩imon Vose膷ek. Also in the programme were two works by Mozart, first his Horn Concerto No. 2 in E flat, with Alexandre Collard as soloist, finishing with his Symphony No. 40 in G minor.
The afternoon continues with a recent concert given by the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, accompanied by the Czech Philharmonic Choir of Brno, with the American John Axelrod conducting Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, followed by Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in G, with soprano Chen Reiss as soloist.
