The programme for the second Prague Spring concert by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO), internationally regarded as one of the three greatest orchestras in the world, sees Chief Conductor Sir Simon Rattle placing the inward, restless Second Symphony by German Romantic Robert Schumann in juxtaposition with Igor Stravinsky’s spectacular, vibrantly colourful music for the ballet based on the Russian folk tale about the Firebird. The audience will thus be given a unique opportunity to experience the exceptional technique, exquisite sound and stylistic flexibility of the Munich-based orchestra, whose qualities are due in large part also to Rafael Kubelík, Czech conductor and founder of the Prague Spring.
