SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

"Authenticity" became the buzz word for playing Baroque music in the 80's and 90's and the "Authentic Instrument" movement changed the way we now play and hear 17th century music.  Conductor Paavo Järvi insists on bringing a similar brand of authenticity when playing music from Czechoslovakia -- and composers like Dvorak.


CLIP TRANSCRIPT

"If you hear the truly Czech performance of it, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.  It is identification with an idiom, not on an intellectual level, but on a level that is transmitted through the mother’s milk.  And when you start analyzing what it is, it has something to do with the rhythm of the language and the rhythm of the folk music."
