Dvorak's Symphony No. 3 abounds with "Slavonic" melodiousness and pathos. Glazunov was inspired by the mastery of the American saxophonist Sigurd Rascher, yet in terms of style he remained in the domain of the Romantic concerto, without being influenced by the jazz conquering North America at the time. George Gershwin, a composer seemingly distant from the Slavonic world, hailed from a family of Russian emigres and, in addition, had to square up to the legacy of Antonin Dvorak, whose pedagogic work in the USA markedly influenced several generations of composers. The common denominator of these recordings is the personality of Vaclav Smetacek, to whom the Prague Symphony Orchestra is indebted for its worldwide renown. Smetacek's peerless recording of Dvorak's third symphony contained on this CD is supplemented by superb performances of the pianist Jan Panenka and the jazzman, conductor and composer Karel Krautgartner.
