Fucik / Royal National Scottish Orchestra / Jarvi- Festival of Fucik (CD)
Thirty years after having recorded Dvorák's complete Symphonies on Chandos, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and it's laureate conductor Neeme Järvi tackle another romantic Czech composer: Julius FucÃk, famous for his more than 400 polkas, marches, and waltzes, some of the best of which are featured here. Full of energetic, effervescent Bohemian cross-rhythms, tuneful brass melodies (often now associated with a circus atmosphere), but also more lyrical expressions, this album is a festival in itself.
