Stereo Recordings: 1970-78

When the violin maestro Josef Suk, celebrating his 80th birthday this year, recorded for Supraphon a CD of Antonin Dvorak's and Josef Suk's chamber works (SU 3976-2) last year, the reviewers marvelled at the album's intimate mood, tone and interpretational directness. These attributes are also characteristic of his latest release, "Romance". On these 30-year-old recordings, Suk is backed by the two finest Czech orchestras. The album is abounding in the very qualities synonymous with Suk's illustrious name: the beautiful, mellow and cultivated tone of his Stradivarius, sparkling technique and depth of feeling.

These pieces by Czech and foreign composers are as though tailored to Suk's virtuosity. ( Supraphon )

新録音はないオムニバス盤だが、一時代前の録音ながら音の状態もよく、何より巨匠ヨゼフ・スークの魅力がぎっしり詰まっている。出色は1曲目のドヴォルザークのロマンス。スークの太い指先から、こんなデリケートで味わい深いヴァイオリンの音色が出るとは、不思議なものだ。この曲はこう弾くしかないだろうという、一言。アルバム全体が暖かみにあふれている。スークの音楽性と選曲の勝利だろう。スーク80歳を記念したジャケット/解説書は、このアルバムのために新たにスークの近況が撮影されたと思われる写真がちりばめられ、チェコファン、スークファンなら垂涎ものだ。ぜひお手元に、記念に一枚揃えられたい。
