Karel Jaromír Erben
Ballads

After returning from the United States, Antonín Dvořák surprised the until then “anti-program” public with a cycle of four excellent symphonic poems based on the ballads of Karel Jaromír Erben. Dvořák studied the poetry collection Kytice (Czech for bouquet) for several years. The result are four compositions. In 1884, enchanted by Erben, Dvořák composed the full-length cantata The Spectre's Bride.
Martin Leginus has been working at Slovak National Theatre since 2006, where he currently conducts six works. He made his debut with the Slovak Philharmonic in the 2020/2021 season.
