To the average mortal, Semyon Bychkov's calendar looks like a bad joke – completely full for five years ahead. It is no coincidence that the moment we found for an interview was during a car journey from Prague to Karlovy Vary, where he was due to conduct the Czech Philharmonic.
When he was a child, Leif Ove Andsnes would storm off if anyone talked while he played. Music, even then, was a serious business. In the Philharmonious podcast, he shares stories of growing up in a small Norwegian town, learning from a Czech piano teacher, and why Grieg’s Concerto might be less “Norwegian” than we think.
Recordings, live broadcasts, analysis, interviews, medallions, behind-the-scenes looks. With the Czech Philharmonic's YouTube channel, you can recall your favourite concerts or go on tour with the orchestra from the comfort of your living room.
