Part 1: Mozart Symphony No 35, in D major (Haffner) (K.385)
Festival in Prague
Prague in spring! One of the most beautiful cities of the world, with sunlight glinting from medieval towers and domes, lilac spilling down the hillside from the historic Hradcany Castle, and the soft Vltava River winding its way between terraced baroque palaces and under ancient stone bridges.
Prague, cultural cross-roads of Europe since the Middle Ages, has a long musical tradition emphasised in its annual Spring Festival, unique in that its audiences, though augmented by many visitors, consist largely of its own music-loving citizens. But to it come each year the great orchestras, conductors, and solo artists from all over Europe and the Americas.
Each year it opens on May 12, anniversary of the death in 1884 of Czechoslovakia's beloved national composer Bedfich Smetana, with a remembrance ceremony at his grave and an orchestral concert devoted entirely to his great cycle of national tone-poems Md vlast (My country). There follow three weeks of festival orchestral concerts, opera, ballet and solo recitals. Tonight's concert includes the Haffner Symphony of Mozart, who loved and was loved by Prague.
