Two of world’s greatest musicians appear together – for the first time anywhere – on Toccata Classics, playing an hour of ‘new’ Dvorák. Josef Suk – the great-grandson of Antonín Dvorák – undertook these transcriptions of 30 Dvorák songs at the suggestion of Martin Anderson of Toccata Classics. Josef Suk had Dvorák’s own viola restored for the recording sessions, which took place in Prague at the beginning of September. Suk’s transcriptions turn the songs into exquisitely beautiful instrumental miniatures. “...the opportunity to hear these evocative and melodious miniatures in affectionate and warmly recorded performances from these great musicians should not be passed up lightly.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2010 **** “…the same vibrant tone, pure intonation and confident musicianship that has thrilled us for many years.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2010 “The inauthentic doesn’t come much more authentic....From the Love Songs, Op 83, the intense “Death reigns in many a human heart” stands out. For the Op 99 Biblical Songs, Suk takes up the viola, but his violin tone is so rich, you could believe he was playing one all along.” Sunday Times, 14th February 2010 *** “[Martin Anderson] has persuaded Josef Suk to transcribe the songs of his great-grandfather, Antonín Dvořák, for violin and viola, giving new life to these charming but neglected miniatures...A tender and highly personal collection to cherish.” The Observer, 4th July 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
