Overview:
Libor Pesek conducts the Royal

Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in the Glagolitic Mass by his Czech compatriot JanaCek. Written in 1926, it uses a text in Old Slavonic to emphasise Czech nationalist identity after centuries of allegiance to Austria.

Liverpool Philharmonic Society, celebrating its 150th birthday.
