The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, led by Petr Popelka, who will be the orchestra's principal conductor and music director starting in the 2022\/23 season, will present a three-CD set of Smetana's orchestral works. The duo also performed \"My Homeland\" during a much-talked-about tour of Japan in July 2024.\n\n\n\nIn addition to serving as principal conductor of the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Popelka has made guest appearances with prominent European and American orchestras and opera houses around the world. He performs the works of Smetana, a composer born in his native country, with extraordinary passion. The album includes Smetana's early music, the \"Festive Symphony\" dedicated to the wedding of the 24-year-old Emperor Franz Joseph I and Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria, Shakespeare's \"Richard III,\" Schiller's \"Wallenstein's Camp,\" and works from Smetana's prime years, including the String Quartet No. 1, \"From My Life,\" by George Szell, and the \"Piano Concerto No. 2\" by Gustavo Pérez. The program also includes George Szell's stunning orchestral version of \"From My Life\" and the complete \"My Homeland\".This performance shows Popelka's deep love for Smetana, with attention to detail.\n\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Supraphon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50671470444833,"sku":"99925434724","price":6505.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/99925434724.jpg?v=1733756226","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/99925434724","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
