"The work delights me as if I were writing a grand symphony." So Dvořák confided to his music publisher, Simrock, when working on Opus 75a (Miniatures). Within a short time, he had revised it for violin and piano under the new title Romantic Pieces. The other Dvořák chamber compositions on this CD, Bagatelles and Terzetto, rank up there with this opus when it comes to sheer spontaneity, inventiveness and unrestrained joy. The atmosphere of Hausmusik in which they were composed is augmented by the virtuosity of Josef Suk, a violinist in whose blood this music circulates. The majesty, playfulness and emotion with which the Master and his young co-players have acquitted themselves of Dvořák's pieces on this new recording bears witness to the fact that some musicians don't age but, like good wine, mature. The recording is rounded off by an exquisite piano quartet of the then twenty-seven-year-old Josef Suk. The origination of the composition was encouraged by Dvořák himself, Suk's teacher. This recording is a testament to the fact that despite his tender age Suk was already a mature composer abounding in invention.
"Práce ta mne těší právě tak, jako bych psal velkou symfonii..." Takto sděluje Dvořák svému nakladateli Simrockovi radost z práce na opusu 75a (Drobnosti) a vzápětí jej pod novým názvemRomantické kusy přepracuje pro housle a klavír. Další Dvořákovy komorní skladby na tomto CD, Maličkosti a Tercet, si co do spontánnosti, nápaditosti a živelné radosti s tímto opusem v ničem nezadají. Atmosféra domácího muzicírování, pro které byly psány, je umocněna mistrovstvím Josefa Suka, houslisty, jemuž tato hudba doslova koluje v krvi. Suverenita, hravost a cit, s jakým se Mistr ajeho mladí spoluhráči na nové nahrávce Dvořáka zhostili, dokazuje, že někteří muzikanti nestárnou, ale zrají jako dobré víno. Nahrávku završuje líbezný klavírní kvartet tehdy sedmadvacetiletého Josefa Suka; ke vzniku skladby dal podnět sám Dvořák coby Sukův učitel a tato nahrávka jen dokazuje, že přes skladatelovo mládí tu máme co do činění se zralým a invencí oplývajícím autorem.
Letošní jubilant Mistr Josef Suk v nové okouzlující nahrávce Dvořáka a Suka!
