Suk: Praga; Fairy Tale

Francis’s readings of two of Suk’s most pungent orchestral scores are persuasively responsive and mostly idiomatic. Praga, Suk’s superb sound portrait of the glories of the Czech capital, is particularly memorable. The only disadvantage is the slightly distant orchestral sound. Jan Smaczny
