Named as a conductor “on the verge of greatness” by Gramophone and praised for his “…penetrating musicianship and with the technical means to achieve it” by Classical Source, Jakub Hr?ša leads the NAC Orchestra in a programme showcasing his mastery of a broad range of repertoire: Beethoven’s iconic “Eroica” with its extraordinary scope, majestic harmonies, and drama; Schumann’s Piano Concerto—a sublime amalgam of rapture and fire perfectly suited to Simon Trp?eski’s “electrifying virtuosity” (The London Times). Plus the exhilarating, driving rhythms of Martin?’s take on the concerto grosso.
