Dvořák's great masterpiece, the clean-sounding 8th Symphony, could easily have been nicknamed "Pastoral" after Beethoven's famous rural predecessor, because here too you can hear the birds, the beautiful green hills, the deep forests and the big rivers - but with Dvořák that of course, his bohemian homeland, which blossoms before our inner ear. The uncrowned king of melodies unfolds in all his might in a work that can be compared to the more well-known 9th symphony in all parameters, and especially for this exuberant major symphony is the continuous flirtation with melancholy in the middle of the rural idyll. This is the symphony you wish you knew! And it will be accompanied by Zoltán Kodály, the godfather of Hungarian musical life,'s beautiful greeting to the land of his childhood, the city of Galánta between Vienna and Budapest, where as a child he heard the virtuoso gypsy orchestra entertain in the town square, and here the symphony orchestra's large sound machine is set in motion so that the earth burns under the fiercely dancing instruments. We end in Austria with Johann Nepomuk Hummel's virtuoso trumpet concerto - and with our own 2nd solo trumpeter, Victor Koch, as a well-placed soloist.
