Performer: Prague Philharmonic Choir

In expert hands, a terrifying 12-tone opera and a heroic piano concerto rattle the walls in Prague’s Rudolfinum.

Conducted by Sakari Oramo, the Czech Philharmonic turn in a brilliant performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony that lights all the old revolutionary fires.

Under the baton of Semyon Bychkov, the Czech Philharmonic and a sprawling supporting cast lead listeners up a stairway to heaven. 

With Jakub Hrůša on the podium and Leif Ove Andsnes at the keyboard, the orchestra offer glowing treatment of a dark program. 

The Czech Philharmonic's impassioned performance of Honegger's dramatic oratorio marks an historic milestone in Prague. 

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.

One of Janáček’s greatest works, the Glagolitic Mass sets Old Church Slavonic in the composer’s inimitable melodic style. Organist Daniela Kosinová talks about this unique piece – and its fearsome organ solo.

The Choirmaster of the Prague Philharmonic Choir talks about the vibrancy of Czech choral repertoire, his love of Janáček and Martinů, and the choir’s upcoming performances around the world.
