Thursday - Prokofiev in Prague

The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra play Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony, plus ensemble Los Temperamentos at Prague's Summer Festivities of Early Music.

Penny Gore introduces an afternoon of live concert recordings from European and 大象传媒 orchestras.

Today's 3pm spotlight falls again on the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, and a performance of the symphony Prokofiev composed in Soviet Russia during the summer of 1944. The orchestra also plays music by Janacek, and a piece inspired by the flight of the hummingbird by the living Czech composer Slavomir Horinka. The ensemble Los Temperamentos are at Prague's 2022 Summer Festivities of Early Music with music from Mexico, and the group's harpsichordist Nadine Remmert makes an artist choice of a cello concerto by Haydn. Plus, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Sir Andrew Davis with Stravinsky.
