The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra

The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra are joined by the violinist Johan Dalene in Sibelius's Violin Concerto and the orchestra gives the long-awaited Czech premiere of Detlev Glanert's Prague Symphony.
The supremely musical Swedish violinist, Johan Dalene, a recent Radio 3 New Generation Artist, makes his debut with the venerable Czech orchestra. And, after the interval, the orchestra premieres Detlev Glanert's Prague Symphony', Lyric Fragments after Franz Kafka. For this major new work, Glanert chose twelve of Franz Kafka鈥檚 lyrical descriptions of Prague. As Kafka wrote to a schoolmate: 鈥淧rague never lets go. Neither of you, nor of me. This little mother has claws.鈥� And in writing the work Glanert realised he says that: "the poems could tell a story about two people, by using two singers and allocating the texts as Mahler had done.....the mezzo and the bass voices are two sides of a personality, as if expressing an interior dialogue between opposing halves of a single character... They start in isolation but progressively grow together through the cycle...and the orchestra is the fluid medium between the two parts....in one sense, inevitably, the orchestra is me, the composer, so you could say there is an active triangular relationship in operation. This is my personal connection with Kafka."
