Velvet Revolution Concert 2021 – with Jakub Hrůša and Lukáš Vondráček

Conductor Jakub Hrůša and pianist Lukáš Vondráček are the guests for the Czech Philharmonic’s 2022 Velvet Revolution Concert. This concert opens with one of Rachmaninoff’s best-loved works, his sweepingly romantic and Piano Concerto No. 2, with Vondráček a virtuoso soloist. Leoš Janáček’s early folk music-inspired Suite for Orchestra from 1891 follows, while the programme concludes with Witold Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra: a thrilling orchestral showpiece dating from the middle of the century which marked the climax of its composer’s engagement with the folk music traditions of his native Poland.
