PAVEL ŠPORCL & KUBELÍK

Legends are not just the fervent work of Antonín Dvořák, but the subtitle of the November program with the chief conductor Tomáš Brauner and violinist Pavel Šporcl. The axis of the program is the legendary and inspiring pair of artists, father and son, Jan and Rafael Kubelík. Jan is the idol of Pavel Šporcl, Rafael is the idol of Tomáš Brauner. Artistically, but mainly personally. In the spring of 2022, this leading Czech violinist recorded Kubelík's Violin Concerto No.1 with the FOK orchestra, and now we’ll experience its launch. And talking about recordings, let's remind ourselves that Rafael Kubelík recorded his beloved Legends with the English Chamber Orchestra. Bohuslav Martinů's Fourth Symphony was also Rafael's favorite work, as is our conductor’s. Understandably – it’s the very essence of joy!
