Jir铆 Belohl谩vek (conductor)
The evening opens with the authentic Czech soundscape of Jan谩cek, in the overture from his final opera From the House of the Dead. Recent recordings of the Elgar and Dvor谩k cello concertos have propelled young American cellist Alisa Weilerstein into a fully fledged musical star. She makes her second visit to the Proms with the Dvor谩k - one of the great Romantic concertos. The composer sets his soloist against an unusually prominent orchestra, here the forces of the Czech Philharmonic, returning under Chief Conductor Jir铆 Belohl谩vek. After the interval Belohl谩vek directs Beethoven's 'apotheosis of the dance' - Wagner's expression referring to the rhythmic verve of the Seventh Symphony.
First broadcast 24th August 2014.
