For their second consecutive night at the Proms, Jakub Hr暖拧a and the Czech Philharmonic bring to life the blazing fanfares, raw outcries and hushed humility of Leo拧 Jan谩膷ek鈥檚 unparalleled Glagolitic Mass. Inspiration for the work struck the composer in a misty wood. 鈥業ts moist scent was the incense,鈥� he wrote. 鈥業 felt a cathedral grow out of the giant expanse of woods ... Now I hear the voice of each arch-priest in the tenor solo, a maiden angel in the soprano 鈥� and in the choir I hear our people.鈥� Experience the power of Jan谩膷ek鈥檚 galvanising work alongside two other Czech masterpieces, Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 fiendish Piano Concerto and a first Proms performance for the Military Sinfonietta by the tragically short-lived V铆t臎zslava Kapr谩lov谩, a sometime pupil of Bohuslav Martin暖.
