Scottish Chamber Orchestra: Bohemian Rhapsodies
Programme:
Kaprálová: Suite en Miniature Op.1
Martinů: Violin Concerto No.2
Martinů: La revue de cuisine
Dvořák: Czech Suite
Jonian Ilias Kadesha director/violin
No thunderbolts and lightning, maybe, but plenty of kaleidoscopic colour, whirling rhythms and strong flavours as flamboyant Greek-Albanian violinist Jonian Ilias Kadesha directs a concert dedicated to the gutsy glories of Czech music.
Dvořák takes your hand for a set of exhilarating dances from his Bohemian homeland, while Martinů whisks you away for exotic travels in his ravishingly beautiful, deeply romantic Second Violin Concerto. Sample absurdist comedy in Martinů’s surrealist La revue de cuisine – a jazz-flavoured love story for everyday kitchen utensils. To begin, an exquisite, evocative Suite from lost Czech voice Vítezslava Kaprálová, who died aged just 25.
