Pinchas Zukerman is back in Prague! And so is his muse, the cellist Amanda Forsyth. Pinchas will take on not only the violin, but also the viola. Together with Amanda and chief conductor Tomáš Brauner, they will ‘read through’ the musical novel by Richard Strauss, charmed by the beauteous Dulcinea del Toboso. We know that this will not be a fight with windmills. As the faithful Sancho Panza, Bach's Baroque and Husa's Neo-Baroque will second the Renaissance story. As regards the composition Three Frescoes by the world-famous Czech Karel Husa, we should add that the last time they were performed was in April 1949, in Smetana Hall by the FOK. Husa's expressive composition is returning after more than 70 years!
