Dvořák’s Sixth Symphony
Norwegian composer and music critic Pauline Hall was a prominent figure in the cultural life in Norway during the early part of the 20th. The orchestral piece Foire is a part of her impressionistic Verlain suite from 1929. For his opera Intermezzo Richard Strauss wrote his own libretto based on events from his marriage, the subject matter being a misunderstanding between him and his wife that almost led to divorce. The work’s stylish entr’acte has become especially popular. The concert will conclude with Antonín Dvořák’s airy and life-affirming sixth symphony. The young Czech musician Petr Popelka, principal conductor of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, will be at the helm of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
The concert will be broadcasted in the Swedish Radio P2 on March 17 at 7:03 pm.
Approximate concert lenght: 1 h 15 min
