Digital Booklet

"... the playing is very accomplished, (the engineering) vivid ... these performances would command attention. Easily recommended."
-ClassicsToday.com
"Recording of the Year ... well-crafted music with lush melody ... radiates that native warmth so much felt in Smetana’s tone poems. The performance is particularly fine and spaciously recorded but with good focus on the sections. Conductor Štilec teases out many nuances in the scores."
- MusicWeb International
This is the second volume in an exceptional project to record the complete orchestral works of Zdeněk Fibich for the first time ever. Between 2012 and 2015, Marek Štilec and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra issued four albums in this series, taking into account historical sources, including manuscripts and contemporary copies of the musical material often used by Fibich himself or heard by him at performances he attended at the time.
