PROGRAMME

ORCHESTRA NOTE
The Czech Philharmonic earned critical acclaim for its recording of Má vlast with Semyon Bychkov, and now the Barcelona public will hear their interpretation. Before the symphonic poems Vyšehrad, The Moldau, and Šárka, Behzod Abduraimov will play Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto—one of the most difficult works for that instrument.
