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. “Iain Quinn has performed an important service in bringing these interesting works into the spotlight in performances which are reliable and worthy and, in the case of the Ropek Variations, surprisingly absorbing. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 |
