Antonin Dvorak: Terzetto für 2 Violinen & Viola op.74 auf CD

Product Information:

"The work delights me as if I were writing a grand symphony…" So Dvorak confided to his music publisher, Simrock, when working on Opus 75a (Miniatures). Within a short time, he had revised it for violin and piano under the new title Romantic Pieces. The other Dvorak chamber compositions on this CD, Bagatelles and Terzetto, rank up there with this opus when it comes to sheer spontaneity, inventiveness and unrestrained joy. The atmosphere of Hausmusik in which they were composed is augmented by the virtuosity of Josef Suk, a violinist in whose blood this music circulates. The majesty, playfulness and emotion with which the Master and his young co-players have acquitted themselves of Dvorak's pieces on this new recording bears witness to the fact that some musicians don't age but, like good wine, mature. The recording is rounded off by an exquisite piano quartet of the then twenty-seven-year-old Josef Suk. The origination of the composition was encouraged by Dvorak himself, Suk's teacher. This recording is a testament to the fact that despite his tender age Suk was already a mature composer abounding in invention.

The octogenarian virtuoso Josef Suk in an enchanting new recording of Dvorak and Suk.

Rezensionen

FonoForum 04/10: "Es ist einfach phänomenal, wie Suk sein Instrument immer noch beherrscht - in einem Alter, wo andere den Bogen längst aus der Hand gelegt haben! Suk ist ein Ausnahmegeiger, er lässt seine Stradivari singen und klingen, warm, rund und urmusikalisch.​ Erfahren und abgeklärt führt er von der Ersten Geige aus, sein Charisma scheint sich auf alle Mitwirkenden zu übertragen.​ Entstanden sind Aufnahmen voller Schönheit und Nostalgie, die ganz zum Wesentlichen, zur Musik, kommen.​ Ein Lichtblick in einer Zeit, wo es im Musikbetrieb allzu oft nur noch um Äußerlichkeiten geht.​"
