Bavarian Radio Symphony II: Eastern European Flavor

Sir Simon Rattle became Chief Conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in September 2023. In our second week with the BRSO, Sir Simon’s artistic leadership is on full display in a program of Eastern European music recorded just a few months later, in April 2024. Violist Timothy Ridout joins in for Bohuslav Martinů’s rousing Rhapsody-Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, bookended by Antonín Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances Op. 72 and Janáček’s gleaming Sinfonietta.
