Vítězslav Novák - Eternal Longing/In The Tatras/Moravian-Slovak Suite

I spent quite a while today digging around for this Supraphon disc. This recording has three of Vítězslav Novák's orchestral works, and they all are quite enchanting. Enjoy.







A pupil of Dvořák, Novák holds a position of importance in Czech music from the earlier years of the 20th century. Conservative in his tastes, in the face of the innovations stemming from Vienna and Paris, he made use of indigenous thematic material in a Romantic musical context, and was always influenced by the landscape of his native country.


Tracks:


1) Eternal Longing, Symphonic Poem Op.33  20'46


2) In the Tatras, Symphonic Poem Op.26      16'37 


Moravian-Slovak Suite Op.32                       27'20


3)In the Church

4)Among the Children
5)Lovers
6)The Band
7)At night
