Dagmar Pecková mezzo-soprano
Irwin Cage piano
Supraphon's exclusive artist, the mezzo-soprano Dagmar Peckova has addressed in this her latest project a quintessentially Czech repertoire: namely, songs of Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904). While this is by no means a pioneering venture as regards the build-up of this label's catalogue, it is on the other hand true that Dagmar Peckova's current artistic status fully entitles her to stand up and present her own alternative to all the previous Dvorak song recordings - all the more so if, as here, she has at her side as distinguished master of piano and connoisseur of song accompaniment as Irwing Gage. We do believe this title will captivate everyone: the general public, by its coupling of Dvorak's phenomenal melodics with the singer's sovereign vocal skills; and experts, by the depth of Miss Peckova's creative insight, and by the minutious collaboration of the two interpreters.
