Dvořák: Czech Suite
Mozart: Piano Concerto in D minor, K.466
Beethoven: Symphony No.2

Jakub Hrusa: conductor; Jonathan Biss: piano


An evening in the key of D! Mozart’s turbulent concerto touches on veins of dark drama and poignant song. For Dvořák, drawing deep on his national folk heritage of dances and romances, there is lyrical warmth and charm to be found. For Beethoven, D is the key of humour and grand brassy gestures – but the complexity of this symphony dumbfounded many of his contemporaries.
