In customary tradition, the Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Coro di Praga give a guest performance at the Laeiszhalle to round off the year. On the programme are two of the most monumental works in music history: Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Carl Orff’s choral masterpiece »Carmina Burana«, which brought the composer fame overnight in 1937.
Grieg compiled the most beautiful pieces of his original incidental music for Henrik Ibsen’s drama »Peer Gynt« into two orchestral suites, dispensing with the spoken dialogue and vocals. Morning Mood, the first movement of Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, is so frequently used in advertising, film and television that it is one of the best-known classical melodies. »In the Hall of the Mountain King« and »Solvejg’s Song« are also often quoted and are among Grieg’s most famous compositions.
This concert evening brings together the most beautiful and melodious works of music literature in one evening. The concert will be performed authentically, with true Slavic soul, by the internationally successful Czech Symphony Orchestra Prague.
Mozart’s Requiem in D minor and Beethoven’s Fifth – the Prague Symphony Orchestra present two spine-tingling masterpieces for orchestra and choir in one concert. Brilliant, strong-voiced support is provided by four soloists and the Coro di Praga.
