S5 -Who Knows How to Play the Strings in Gold
Why the two harps? And what's the flautist doing there? Yes, friends, that's the right question to be asking. It’s really quite extraordinary: Lydie recently passed Kateřina the PRSO harp baton. There's nothing very interesting about that. What is interesting is that tonight we will also be welcoming the lady Dagmar to the studio. Yes, my friends: three generations of PRSO harpists will be coming together - the legendary Dagmar Platilová, Lydie Härtelová, until recently active at PRSO, and her recent successor Kateřina Valášková.

Why the two harps? And what's the flautist doing there? Yes, friends, that's the right question to be asking. It’s really quite extraordinary: Lydie recently passed Kateřina the PRSO harp baton. There's nothing very interesting about that. What is interesting is that tonight we will also be welcoming the lady Dagmar to the studio. Yes, my friends: three generations of PRSO harpists will be coming together - the legendary Dagmar Platilová, Lydie Härtelová, until recently active at PRSO, and her recent successor Kateřina Valášková.
Which of them is the best, the most beautiful, the most charismatic harpist? Someone who has spent part of his artistic life with all three of them, and who has played with all of them as a chamber and orchestral musician, has therefore been invited as "arbiter elegantiae". He is a pillar of the PRSO - first flautist Mario Mesany. The unusual yet wonderful harmony of two royal instruments and the angelic sound of the flute. Let's enjoy an extraordinary artistic experience.
The concert will be broadcast live on the Czech Radio D-dur programme.
