„Nobleness, goes to blossom and brilliance“

Smetana Philharmonic Orchestra Prague (former West Bohemian Philharmonic orchestra) took care of the nicest New Year´s concert in Ramstein till this time. At the begining Lehar´s overture (Wiener Frauen) touched the hearing. Very delicate musical show, smooth tones, nuances, mainly young musicians were proved. Accuracy of musicians were proved in Lehár´s „Gold and Silver“- waltz. Hans Richter conducted with incredibly facility and nobleness. He is a musician to the core and he proved motivate young members of orchestra to amazing achievements.

„Glamorous speech of tone“
Hans Richter and Smetana Philharmonic Orchestra Prague
(former West Bohemian Philharmonic orchestra) represented music pieces in extra nice tone. Hans Richter guarantees musical quality. It was confirmed in Buhnenhause (Bocholt) where he presented classical and romantique pieces. The highest respect merit Jana Nováková, who without problems presented the most difficult tirades in Brahms concert for violin.
„Eroica“ L.van Beethoven was writed like memory of French revolution, each instrument has it´s own meaning.
First part had well-considered dynamic and very successfull timing, which were fit like well sewn suit.“Adagio“ from „Funeral march“ had lines and endless mystic pasages in strings. Final was built in tense and in many ways. Only after an encore audience let the orchestra go from stage.
