Over to Prague this week for a studio concert by the celebrated Janacek Philharmonic lead by conductors Leos Svarovsky, Jiri Belohlavek and Christian Arming and featuring Pianist Gerhard Oppitz in music of Dvorak and Paul Hindemith.
Starting off with the Slavonic Dances op. 72 by Dvorak with Svarovsky conducting and then picking up Gerhard Oppitz and Jiri Belohlavek for a nice performance of the Dvorak Piano Concerto and finishing up with Christian Arming leading the orchestra in a performance of the Hindemith Variations on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber. A little over an hour, so it's all going to fit on one player. Announcements are in Czech via CRo3 Vltava (Czech Radio 3). Here's the rundown in English and Czech:
