Bernard Chasan: >I happened to hear (on WHRB) the new Naxos recording of this work, >previously unknown to me, and I was bowled over, as they say. It is a >work of great beauty and expressiveness - to my ears, endowed with >a harmonic adventurousness which gave it a kind of urgency. On first >listening I don't know anything else quite like it. Does anybody out >there know the work? Yes, I've been a Suk fan for a long time. The middle movement called Blind Fiddlers especially I find quite eerily beautiful, but the whole work is one of his best. There are several other versions of the piece, but the Naxos coupling, Tale of a Winter's Evening, is, AFAIK, the only available recording. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
