Weber Bassoon Concerto in F major, Op. 75
Dvořák Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70
Bence Bogányi bassoon
Tomáš Netopil conductor
The seventh might not be Dvořák’s most well-known symphony, but it’s arguably his best – a tightly-packed masterpiece for orchestra in which dark clouds and splendid sunshine jostle for supremacy along a melody-fuelled, rhythm-buoyed journey to triumph. Music Director of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, Tomáš Netopil, conducts this towering masterpiece of a symphony here alongside Weber’s operatically-inclined bassoon concerto, with OPO Solo Bassoon Bence Bogányi as soloist. More Czech music completes the programme. Dvořák’s Symphonic Variations, which presents 28 views of the same exotically-shaped tune, from the sweeping to the frolicking.
