Replacing the originally planned concerts at the end of January in Prague, this week (25-29 January) Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic will start their recording sessions of Smetana’s Má vlast. Bychkov first conducted the Orchestra in the iconic work in October 2019 and in November 2020 chose Má vlast to open a new annual concert series presented to commemorate the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The performance was seen live on Czech TV and will be available in 4K on Mezzo TV later this year.
