Má vlast: freedom, resilience and Czech identity

Cameron Kelsall, 25th February

Má vlast is a universal and contemporary piece: we look into what makes it so powerful, and how the Czech Philharmonic has made it a landmark piece within its repertoire.

Cleveland Orchestra 01 - Lutosławski & Smetana

Alan Coady, 21st August

The Cleveland Orchestra's two Slavic programmes form part of a larger Polish thread woven into this year's EIF. Witold Lutosławski's 1954 Concerto for Orchestra struck me as an ideal opening to the first concert. Its reliance on folk tunes, collected from the Masovia region (north of Warsaw) by ethnographer Oskar Kolberg, assures an unmistakably Polish flavour.
