The choice has been widely applauded, with Mr Bělohlávek seen as just the thing to bring the national philharmonic into the future and out into the world. Earlier I spoke by phone with Jaroslav Pondělíček of the orchestra’s artistic board, who told me how Jiří Bělohlávek could succeed where others could not. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/belohlavek_2.jpg?timestamp=1591269588 World-class conductor Jiří Bělohlávek to take up the baton at the Czech Philharmonic https://english.radio.cz/world-class-conductor-jiri-belohlavek-take-baton-czech-philharmonic-8567334 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
