A conductor recommends: Jakub Hrůša’s highlights
Music from Bach to Berg is brought together from our archives in the playlist that Jakub Hrůša has compiled to mark his guest conducting appearance in September 2021. In addition to symphonies by Beethoven and Bruckner, his recommendations include works inspired by images and stories. Among the conductors is Hrůša’s teacher and fellow countryman Jiří Bělohlávek, plus Kirill Petrenko, Daniel Barenboim, Claudio Abbado, and Lorin Maazel.
