About

Emerging from the fertile background of Bohemian nationalism, Vítĕzslav Novák’s music achieved cult status in his homeland for its richness of melody and full-blown romantic orchestral colour. The lush timbres and monumental solemnity of In the Tatra Mountains were inspired by the composer’s journeys in this magnificent region. Eternal Longing is based on a poem by Hans Christian Andersen, while the dramatic Lady Godiva Overture, complete with tolling bells at the finale, was written by Novák in two days and is considered one of his most powerful works.

JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic do Novák’s music proud.

Classical Ear 19th April 2017

JoAnn Falletta secures compellingly secure, dedicated and atmospheric results from her admirable Buffalo band in this extremely attractive repertoire…Everything has been vividly captured by producer/engineer Tim Handley, and inquisitive souls certainly needn't tarry.
