Oeuvre: Concerto pour piano en sol mineur, Op. 33

Semyon Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic bring their Year of Czech Music to a triumphant conclusion in Toronto’s Koerner Hall, where Daniil Trifonov raises the roof with Dvořák’s neglected Piano Concerto. 

The orchestra doesn't miss a beat in opening the season with a substitute conductor Charles Dutoit and a dashing new artist-in-residence in Daniil Trifonov. 

Jakub Hrůša and his Czech forces give an impressive account of a mass which with its ecclesiastical elements, yet pantheistic spirit and visceral energy points towards a more secular age.
