Supraphon's exclusive artist, the mezzo-soprano Dagmar Pecková has addressed in this her latest project a quintessentially Czech repertoire: namely, songs of Antonín Dvořák (1841 - 1904). While this is by no means a pioneering venture as regards the build-up of this label's catalogue, it is on the other hand true that Dagmar Pecková's current artistic status fully entitles her to stand up and present her own alternative to all the previous Dvořák song recordings - all the more so if, as here, she has at her side as distinguished master of piano and connoisseur of song accompaniment as Irwing Gage. We do believe this title will captivate everyone: the general public, by its coupling of Dvořák's phenomenal melodics with the singer's sovereign vocal skills;and experts, by the depth of Miss Pecková's creative insight, and by the minutious collaboration of the two interpreters.
