Product Description:
Josef Suk (violin and viola) & Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano)
Two of world’s greatest musicians appear together – for the first time anywhere – on Toccata Classics, playing an hour of ‘new’ Dvorák.
Josef Suk – the great-grandson of Antonín Dvorák – undertook these transcriptions of 30 Dvorák songs at the suggestion of Martin Anderson of Toccata Classics.
Josef Suk had Dvorák’s own viola restored for the recording sessions, which took place in Prague at the beginning of September.
Suk’s transcriptions turn the songs into exquisitely beautiful instrumental miniatures.
