Werk: Acht Slawische Tänze, Op.46

Nicht unbedingt lustig, aber dafür musikalisch wunderschön präsentierte sich die letzte SOAP des Styriarte-Sommers.

Before the pandemic, it was easy to take concert-going for granted, that communal sharing of classical music. One day after the easing of lockdown, the London Symphony Orchestra returned to its Barbican home to play for an audience for the first time since 15th March 2020. 

Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances were a treat and Simon Trpčeski was characteristically glistening in Shostakovich, but the surprise package turned out to be a rarely heard work by Kabeláč.
