Album detail
Catalogue number: SU 4340-2

The album featuring Antonín Dvořák’s complete works for violin and piano played by Czech Philharmonic concertmaster Jiří Vodička sensitively accompanied by pianist and Czech Philharmonic CEO David Mareček has received a wonderful review togerher with the Editor's Choice in the November issue of Gramophone magazine!


"In total, it adds up to almost one and three-quarter hours of incredibly stylistically varied music – and so far as I can tell, this ‘Complete Works’ from Czech Philharmonic concertmaster Jiří Vodička and David Mareček is the first recording to bring absolutely all of it together in one place, although their album’s greatest worth isn’t its comprehensiveness but the playing itself... Its Poco sostenuto is particularly superbly interpreted, its outer sections played with a softly Romantic, Brahms-aware glide and tonal depth – with the faintest Czech ring to the piano colours in particular – after which the Czech accent fully flowers out over the central sequential conversation’s phrasing and ornamentations... I can’t see anyone bettering this any time soon."
