COMPOSERS: Suk
LABELS: CPO
WORKS: Praga; Fairy Tale
PERFORMER: Northwest German PO/Alun Francis
CATALOGUE NO: 999 576-2
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
