Czech Phil performs Suk Summer's Tale under Jakub Hrůša's Direction - 4/12/2021

[JP]

Hi everyone, as a swift follow up to the Asrael Symphony live concert rendition in Helsinki a few weeks ago, it may interest you all to note (if you're not otherwise already aware) that Maestro Jakub Hrůša conducted a performance of Josef Suk's A Summer Tale with the Czech Philharmonic a few days ago, which is presently available on the orchestra's YouTube channel. The piece begins at the 1:10:17 time stamp mark. Unfortunately the audio playback quality of this recording is rather poor and soft, so one is unable to savour the full acoustic dynamics and subtle instrumental/interpretive nuances of this live concert performance. 

violin: Josef Špaček
conductor: Jakub Hrůša

Dear JP,

thank you for the hint! Lovely to see how Hrůša and the likes are pushing Suk's works.

Best wishes!

PS: Although the first half of the concert is clearly outside our remit, I recommend not to jump the first half, just for the sheer delight of Špaček's playing– what an encore ;-) (→ 43:42 min: Aleksey Igudesman, Funk the String – I've never heard something like this as an encore!)

YouTube said it's a private video and I'm not allowed to access it.

Same here – or perhaps it's been made private since?

[Alan Howe]

Same here.

I experience this as well now – seems to have been made private in the meanwhile. It certainly was available when I wrote the above post... What a pity!
