Tuesday - New World Symphony

The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra perform Dvorak's Ninth Symphony, 'From the New World', plus more from the city's Summer Festivities of Early Music in 2022.

Ian Skelly hosts an afternoon of performances by orchestras from around Europe, with a focus on the Czech Republic.

Today in the 3pm orchestral spotlight, Dvorak's Ninth 'New World' Symphony is performed by the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra at the city's famous 19th-century cultural venue, the Rudolfinum. The orchestra's chief conductor, Petr Popelka, makes his artist choice, with music by Schoenberg. Also today, there's more from soprano Julieta Viñas and ensemble La Bellement at Prague's Summer Festivities of Early Music, and Isabelle Faust joins the Czech Philharmonic for Martinu's second Violin Concerto. Plus, members of the Vienna Philharmonic play Berg at the 2022 Salzburg Festival, and new recording of Bartok's Dance Suite from the Ulster Orchestra.
