Product Information
On their upcoming album, conductor Jakub Hrůša and the Bamberger Symphoniker explore the six symphonies of Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů – one of the 20th century’s finest symphonic cycles. Composed during the composer’s American exile, these mature works encompass poetic lyricism, epic tragedy, and Bohemian colour and energy.
The Bamberg Symphoniker traces its artistic lineage to Prague, with roots reaching back to the Estates Theatre and the city’s rich musical culture. Based in Bamberg since 1946, the orchestra has brought its rich and warm sound to music lovers worldwide. In a close artistic partnership, Hrůša and the orchestra bring this shared heritage to life with clarity, depth, and expressive power.
Listen to a second pre-release track, the second movement of Martinů’s Symphony No. 2, H. 295. The full album is released digitally and on CD on 15 May and is available for pre-order.
