Dvorak, A./Suk, J./Novak, V./Fibich, Z... Czech serenade - selection
PrintHidden in Czech music is a magnificent potential of phenomenal musical ideas and original approaches that are in more than a few resepects rooted in Czech and Moravian folklore. This newly compiled collection presents some of the finest examples of what Czech music has to offer in this particular field. It will bring a good deal of enjoyment especially to nonprofessional music-lovers who will find here a valuable source of information on melodies they have long known yet whose origins and composers have so far been unknown to them. Thus they will rediscover music by Antonin Dvorak, as well as by other masters of Czech music: Vitezslav Novak, Zdenek Fibich, Josef Suk, Leos Janacek, and others. The individual numbers, mostly digitally recorded, were performed by prominent Czech artists, including the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and a gallery of top-class chamber players.
