Czech Philharmonic ⬩ Orchestra Rehearsal... for VLAST I (rerun of the 2023 programme)
Smetana's "My Country" is not only the most frequently performed piece alongside Dvořák's "New World Symphony" for the Czech Philharmonic, but also an emblematic composition, which is part of a venerable interpretational tradition. What relationship do today's Philharmonic members have with Smetana's remarkable score – and with their parts? How does conductor Petr Altrichter view this unique cycle of symphonic poems?
