Christian Tetzlaff joins the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in Suk's Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra, Op 24, along with Fibich's The Tempest and Rachmaninov's Second Symphony.

Fiona Talkington presents a highlight of the European musical season, featuring the Czech Philharmonic, conducted by Tom谩拧 Netopil.

鈥淚 need not give an account of myself to anyone. Only to my own conscience and to our noble lady music,鈥� the composer Josef Suk once said. His Fantasy in G minor for violin and orchestra shows Suk as a dramatic composer of music full of surprising turns and inner turmoil.

A very rarely played work by Suk鈥檚 and Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 contemporary Zden臎k Fibich - the Overture to his opera The Tempest - adds another glimpse into the rich world of Czech music of the fin-de-siecle. The Symphony No. 2 in E minor by Suk鈥檚 contemporary Sergei Rachmaninov completes the concert.

Zden臎k Fibich: The Tempest 鈥� Overture, Op. 46
Josef Suk: Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra in G Minor, Op. 24
Sergei Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 27
