Martinů Symphony Cycle: Martinů 2

Synopsis

Jiří Bělohlávek and his Czech Philharmonic embarked on the ambitious project of recording the complete Martinů symphonies at the visually and acoustically spectacular Rudolfinum Prague, starting with Nos. 1 and 4. After the death of Bělohlávek, his pupil Jakub Hrůša took over the project, continuing the cycle with Symphonies Nos. 2, 3 and 6. Praised for his “passionate, thrilling” way of conducting his ‘all-Czech’ BBC Proms concert by the NYT, Hrůša is uniquely qualified to face the task of performing the works of Martinů, who is deemed the greatest Czech composer of his generation.
