Summary
Jakub Hrůša leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra in works by Kaprálová and Janáček, with pianist Lukáš Vondráček joining for Rachmaninov’s Third Concerto at the Royal Albert Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Rachmaninov’s Third is famously the most demanding concerto in the repertoire, a marathon of romantic intensity that pushes any pianist to their physical limits. The mood shifts completely after the interval with Janáček’s fanfares, which use a massive brass section to create a wall of celebratory sound.
