Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša leads selections from Smetana’s The Bartered Bride, a satirical slice-of-life opera set in a Bohemian village and filled with soaring tunes and folkloric color. Leif Ove Andsnes, whose Beethoven “is big, forthright, passionate” (The Guardian), scales the composer’s stormy Third Piano Concerto. Robert Schumann’s Spring Symphony captures the season’s restless vitality.
