YouTube Video: Mahler Festival Concert held in Prague on 30th November 2020

[JP]

Greetings once again everyone. You may wish to take note that Maestro Marek Stilec conducted a rapturous live premiere rendition of Vitezslav Novak's Slovak Songs (41:13 - 54:19) and an amazingly rare videotaped concert performance of his Slovak Suite (57:49 - 1:29:26) programmed alongside Dvorak's seldom heard selection of Gypsy Songs (11:06 - 27:00) and a staple non-rarity favourite, Mahler's 5th Sym Adagietto (29:48 - 38:58). 

This arose from the latest much scaled down annual musical event featuring a chamber-sized orchestral ensemble signifying a somewhat subdued 2020 Mahler Festival held in Prague on 30th November with the noticeable absence of a concert audience in attendance. This YouTube video footage might therefore pique the interest and curiosity of this board's Czech music lovers as well as the general viewership amid these lean, drab and arid concert schedule depleted Covid epochal times.
