5.0 out of 5 stars Pristine and powerful!, January 1, 2002
By 
Jonathan Lunneberg (Waterford, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Suk: Asrael Symphony / Fairy Tale / Serenade Strings (Audio CD)
I just received my copy of this recording yesterday and I've listened to it straight through twice already. The quality of the recording is absolutely perfect. The clarity of the gentle, lyrical passages is pure and beautiful. The more powerful passages come through with a thunder that is often missing from classical recordings. I love it!

Of course, the compositions themselves are beautiful and full of emotional expression in a purely and unapologetically late romantic style. The performance by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra is as good as it gets. They know how these pieces need to be played and they do it well.

Do yourself a favor and buy this recording. You will not be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo to Belohlavek, February 12, 2003
By 
This review is from: Suk: Asrael Symphony / Fairy Tale / Serenade Strings (Audio CD)
I was only recently introduced to the works of Suk, and this 2-CD set is a superb example of why his music is becoming a mainstay of my collection! The Czech Philharmonic really knows how to bring out the best in this music, and I heartily recommend this recording. The Asrael Symphony especially is worth the price alone!
