Performer: Václava Krejčí Housková

Jakub Hrůsa, the Czech Philharmonic and a superb cast of singers give the full treatment to Smetana’s celebratory paean to the Czech nation.

Tenor Nicky Spence and mezzo Václava Krejčí Housková thrill with a theatrical take on Janáček's The Diary of One Who Disappeared with pianist Julius Drake. 

Director Lotte De Beer's thoroughly realized, aesthetically rich and beautifully executed production of Janáček's masterpiece is anchored by strong performances from Nina Stemme and Svetlana Aksenova.
