For their second consecutive night at the Proms, Jakub Hrůša and the Czech Philharmonic bring to life the blazing fanfares, raw outcries and hushed humility of Leoš Janáček’s unparalleled Glagolitic Mass. Inspiration for the work struck the composer in a misty wood. ‘Its moist scent was the incense,’ he wrote. ‘I felt a cathedral grow out of the giant expanse of woods ... Now I hear the voice of each arch-priest in the tenor solo, a maiden angel in the soprano – and in the choir I hear our people.’ Experience the power of Janáček’s galvanising work alongside two other Czech masterpieces, Dvořák’s fiendish Piano Concerto and a first Proms performance for the Military Sinfonietta by the tragically short-lived Vítězslava Kaprálová, a sometime pupil of Bohuslav Martinů.

Presented by Tom Service, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
