About

Performances of Dvořák’s music in cities all over Britain helped to ensure a continued demand for the works he wrote especially for that country. He composed the cantata The Spectre’s Bride during the period May-November, 1884, with the first performance taking place in Birmingham the following year. Tradition has it that Dvořák himself conducted the choir of around 400 voices and an orchestra of 150 musicians. There were many more performances of the cantata in Great Britain and the USA during the year following its première. This helped secure Dvořák’s prominence and popularity among Anglo-American audiences, an advantage which has never really waned since.

June 2017

Simona Šaturová is pure and innocent as the girl but thrills when she throttles up. Pavol Breslik is smooth and eager as her ghostly spouse, Adam Plachetka sage-like as the narrator. A nice little discovery

28th June 2017

With Krombholc one gets the great trio of Drahomíra Tikalová, Beno Blachut and Ladislav Mráz in a twofer coupling with Novák’s The Storm. Here are singers for whom cantata and opera are, without any crudity, fruitfully interchangeable.

26th March 2017

Meister, one of Germany’s rising conductors, makes a strong case for it with his Viennese forces and Slovakian and Czech soloists. Simona Saturova is steely, if occasionally unsteady, as the distraught Bride, Pavol Breslik’s lyric tenor expands into the Spectre’s strenuous music, and Adam Plachetka...is an exemplary narrator, leading the commentating chorus.

30th March 2017

[Meister] tends to emphasise the lyrical aspects of Dvořák’s score. But there are shapely solo contributions from the ORF orchestra, and certainly some very fine expressive singing from soprano Simona Šaturová as the girl and tenor Pavol Breslik as the spectre.
