Bohemian Rhapsodies
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Four composers deliver music of defiance and flair with the aid of superb young Czech violinist Josef Špaček and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
In the 20th century, the nations of central Europe experienced both glory and terror – and composers responded with music that blazes with energy and imaginative power.
For LPO Principal Conductor Edward Gardner, it’s a source of pure inspiration, and tonight, in the first of two Phoenix Lands concerts, he shares his passion.
Phoenix Lands is a two-concert celebration of 20th-century Central European music.
Janáček retells bloody folktales, Grażyna Bacewicz strikes a note of defiance, and Lutosławski and Martinů each do their own deliriously imaginative thing.
Repertoire
- Bacewicz: Overture
- Martinů: Violin Concerto No.2
Interval
- Lutosławski: Symphony No.4
- Janáček: Taras Bulba
