Performer: Anastasia Kobekina

Conducted by Semyon Bychkov, the Czech Philharmonic shows its versatility with a sharp, smart evening of modern music.

The BBC Phil's chief conductor led a relentless account of Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, paired with Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

The Year of Czech Music continues at the BBC Proms with a highly-shaped Dvořák Cello Concerto from Proms debutant Anastasia Kobekina and Suk’s monster of a symphony, Asrael.

Anastasia Kobekina and Cedric Tiberghien treat Wigmore Hall to a night of flair, flitting between their two homelands. 

La jeune musicienne russe a réservé au public de la Chapelle protestante un récital original et de haute tenue, associant aux suites de Bach des pièces modernes dans un jeu toujours convaincant.

Mit der Interpretation von Haydns Cellokonzert in C-Dur lässt die junge russische Künstlerin aufhorchen. Der Dirigent Semyon Bychkov und das Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich tragen das Ihre dazu bei. 

Ahead of a return to Prague to perform with the Czech Philharmonic, Anastasia Kobekina talks about Bryce Dessner’s new cello concerto, Trembling Earth, her love for Dvořák, and exploring new instruments.

The young Belgian conductor has had a long association with the Flanders Symphony – and this January he takes the chief’s baton from departing Kristiina Poska, who reaffirmed the orchestra’s crisp, classical sound.

Bryce Dessner enters the Czech Philharmonic’s living tradition with electric guitars, a new cello concerto and a composer’s ear for landscape, history, collaboration and renewal.
