Both the 'AsraelSymphony' and 'Fairy Tale', considered by many the summit of Suk's achievements, are new additions to the Decca and Universal catalogues. 145 years after Suk's birth, JiříBělohlávekand the Czech Philharmonic present informed performances of two of the composer's most notable works. The 'AsraelSymphony' was composed in memory of Antonín Dvořákand his daughter, Otilie, to whom Suk was married. This release continues the series of JiříBělohlávek'slast recordings of Czech masterworks for Decca Classics before he sadly passed away in 2017. "Splendid recordings do justice to a Czech Philharmonic in fine form, producing a fitting memorial to the remarkable life of Bělohlávek." -Praise for JANÁČEK: GLAGOLITIC MASS / Limelight Magazine
