Presented by Ian Skelly

In the last of five programmes celebrating the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, dashing young Czech violinist Jan Mracek plays Dvorak's only concerto for the instrument. Exciting and romantic, it was one of the composer's works to be premiered in the United States, in Chicago in 1891.
