Jakub Hrůša joins forces with Julian Rachlin for the dazzling, virtuosic feat of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto alongside Dvořák's Eighth Symphony. 'Melodies simply pour out of me' wrote Dvořák as he penned his symphony surrounded by the rolling hills of his secluded country home in Vysoká.

Please note that the violinist Sergey Khachatryan has had to withdraw from this concert due to visa issues. We are delighted that Julian Rachlin has stepped in to replace him.

Authenticity and spark from Jakub Hrůša

Mark Thomas, 8th April

A Slavic treat from Jakub Hrůša and the Philharmonia saw an ebullient Dvořák's Eighth Symphony, a German-Hungarian-Czech combo, and Julian Rachlin an admirable last-minute stand-in in Tchaikovsky.
