Digital Booklet
|
"... assured and completely idiomatic performances ... quite enough to demonstrate (Štilec’s) expert professional credentials."
- MusicWeb International
"... very well played and recorded ... Štilec offers compelling interpretations of all five pieces. The music is fun ... a convenient way to fill out your collection of Czech romantic orchestral music."
- ClassicsToday.com
This marks the third volume of Zdenĕk Fibich's orchestral works recorded by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra under Marek Štilec. Less well known than his compatriots Dvořák and Smetana, Fibich was however one of the greatest Czech composers of his day. This 2014 collection of symphonic poems spans the best part of his career, starting with Othello, which emphasizes the intertwined fates of Shakespeare’s main characters. The Tempest encapsulates Shakespeare’s story of storm, shipwreck and reconciliation; the symphonic picture Spring depicts the season in all its variety.
