Playing the Beethoven Triple Concerto alongside Jan Fišer and Václav Petr, and under Giovanni Antonini's direction, was a real privilege. That feeling of chamber music within the larger orchestral space was exactly what this piece calls for.\n\nFor our encore we played *Soir* (Evening) by Mel Bonis - a piece I've been drawn to for some time. Brom compares its mood to the Suk *Elegy*, which felt like exactly the right description.\n\nRead the full review at https:\u002F\u002Fwww.klasikaplus.cz\u002Fantonini-caroval\u002F",{"slug":163,"date":164,"title":165,"excerpt":166,"image":167,"body":168},"operaplus-antonini-review-2026","2026-01-17","Opera Plus: Czech Philharmonic \"Boldly Steps Outside Its Comfort Zone\"","Opera Plus highlights my \"sovereign technique that sparkled lightly and naturally\" in Beethoven's Triple Concerto, in a concert they describe as the Czech Philharmonic boldly stepping outside its comfort zone.","\u002Fimg\u002F615720224_1894512914537285_8546021758215678322_n.jpg","A lovely review from Michal Novenko in Opera Plus, covering the same concert at the Rudolfinum on 14 January.\n\nNovenko's headline - *Česká filharmonie pod vedením Giovanniho Antoniniho odvážně vykročila ze své komfortní stylové zóny*, \"The Czech Philharmonic Boldly Stepped Outside Its Comfort Zone\" - captures something I genuinely felt on stage.
