Jakub Hrůša and Julia Fischer

Jakub Hrůša conducts three works that combine the specific tone of Czech music with the musical language of the 20th century: Bohuslav Martinů’s First Symphony, written while in exile in America in 1942, evokes his lost homeland with folk melodies and dance rhythms. The yearning Suita rustica by his pupil Vítězslava Kaprálová is based on traditional folk themes. Julia Fischer also presents Josef Suk’s Fantasy for violin and orchestra.
