Young conductor Jakub Hrůša, an artist who records exclusively for Supraphon, follows up his debut CD of Dvořák pieces with a new studio recording of Dvořák's Suite in A major and JosefSuk's Scherzo Fantastique and Serenade in E flat major. Hrůša brings out all the best qualities of the young Prague Philharmonia and also pours the whole of his own immense talent into Dvořák and Suk's music. Dvořák's lyrical Suite in A major, Suk's festively majestic Scherzo, and finally the stirring Serenade in E flat major are further rungs in Jakub Hrůša'srapidly climbing artistic career. This extraordinarily gifted young conductor continues to surprise audiences at home and abroad with the artistic maturity of his performance.
