French composers Milhaud, Chausson, and Debussy all have their own style – some more traditional, others more progressive. To combine their works into one programme brings promise of a diverse yet coherent evening of music. Performing their works are Czech Philharmonic concertmaster Jiří Vodička, the renowned pianist François Dumont, and the leading Czech ensemble, the Pražák Quartet.

Rudolfinum

Dvorak's Cypresses for String Quartet and mezzo-soprano anchor this program. The piece began as a song cycle for soprano and piano. Dvorak then transcribed the music for string quartet alone. Now we hear a metamorphosis of the previous iterations which the Prazak Quartet commissioned - the songs accompanied by string quartet. If only Dvorak could hear them! It's Smetana's 200th birthday, so his second quartet. And we can't have Prazak without Janacek.
