Novák: Orchestral Works, Vol. 2

Pavel Svoboda, Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava and Marek Štilec

Vitezslav Novák was one of the most important Czech composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Moravian-Slovak Suite is one of his most popular works, evoking an eventful and romance-filled day in a Slovakian village. Recorded here for the first time since its rediscovery by producer Jirí Štilec, the Two Wallachian Dances further invoke Novák’s passion for folk music. De profundis was written during the dark days of the Second World War. It includes an important part for organ which is unleashed with full force in one of the most triumphant conclusions in all of 20th-century music.

Novák, V: De profundis, Op. 67
Novák, V: Slovácká svita, Op. 32, for piano or small orchestra (orchestral version)
Novák, V: Wallachian Dances (2), Op. 34
