When I saw Steve Schwartz's review of "Dvorak Transcribed", I thought,
"Blimey, he was quick off the mark", since I've just released, on Toccata
Classics, a CD of transcriptions of Dvorak songs by Josef Suk - his
great-grandson, of course - and Vladimir Ashkenazy, the two patrons of
my label.  And since the main delivery has not long come in from the
factory, I couldn't see how Steve could have got hold of one on his side
of the pond already.  Turns out, of course, that he was writing about a
different CD. You can sample my one online at
http://www.toccataclassics.com/cddetail.php?CN=3DTOCC0100.  Josef Suk
had just turned 80 when we made these recordings, but he's playing as
well as ever, as you'll hear.  And while you're on the site, you might
also cock an ear at the Gernsheim Piano Quintets at
http://www.toccataclassics.com/cddetail.php?CN=3DTOCC0099 - knock-out
music, which should be standard stuff.  I would say that, you'll contend
- but have a listen for yourselves.

All the best
