| |  | Czech Music from Norwich Cathedral Organ
This new recording is devoted to Czech organ music and includes pieces by Novák, Janácek, Dvorák and Smetana
and the solitary organ work of Martinu. The pieces are linked by the historical legacy of a composition teacherpupil
relationship. The largest work is the St Wenceslas Triptych by Vítezslav Novák, which is of equal scale to
the great romantic organ works of Liszt and Reubke. Iain Quinn explains that the Norwich Cathedral organ ‘offers a symphonic dimension in its specification that is
especially well suited to this repertoire’. When this sound is coupled with the splendid acoustic of the Cathedral the
results are glorious. |

| |  | The tragic libretto portrays a woman driven to despair and suicide by her husband and monstrous mother-in-law. The result is a deeply moving, intensely lyrical work, as engaging in the beauty of the vocal and orchestral writing as in its story – which also revealed the tragedy of Slavic provincial life, of which Janácek was only too well aware: ‘There is much sadness and Slav tenderness and depth of feeling in it. May I find the right way to express it with equal intensity’, wrote Janácek on The Storm, the Ostrovsky play that was his source for Katya Kabanova.
