BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2010 Repeats, Prom 58

The Czech Philharmonic under John Eliot Gardiner in Dvorak, Martinu, Grieg and Janacek.

Czech Philharmonic under John Eliot Gardiner in Dvorak: Carnival Overture. Martinu: Symphony No 6. Grieg: Piano Concerto. Janacek: The Ballad of Blanik. Dvorak: Symphony No 8.

With Katie Derham

Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the visiting Czech Philharmonic Orchestra frame their programme with Dvorak's ebullient, life-affirming Carnival Overture and his radiant 8th Symphony. In between, Martinu's 6th Symphony dances with Czech and Moravian folk melodies and rhythms; there's a detour to the Norwegian fjords for Grieg's Piano Concerto with Lars Vogt; and back to the Moravian Janacek whose gentle Ballad of Blanik was inspired by Czech independence and the new nation's legendary guardians. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

Martinu: Fantaisies symphoniques (Symphony No. 6)
Grieg: Piano Concerto in A minor
Janácek: The Ballad of Blaník
