今年２０１２年に同じスプラフォンからリリースされた同メンバーによる８枚組の交響曲全集に入っていないオーケストラル・ワークが、こちらの方に収録されている。幸い両者の選曲にだぶりがひとつもない。曲目は『チェコ組曲』ニ長調Op.39、序曲『フス教徒』Op.67、序曲『我が家』Op.62、『ノクターン』変ホ長調Op.40及び『スケルツォ・カプリッチョーソ』Op.66の５曲で、いくらか古いセッションだが２００５年のデジタル・リマスタリングによって瑞々しく鮮明な音質と臨場感が再現されている。ライナー・ノーツは１８ページで録音データの他に英、独、仏、チェコ語の解説付。

ドヴォルザークの初期の作品になる弦楽合奏のための『ノクターン』はチェコ・フィルの弦の音色の美しさを堪能させてくれる小品だ。弦の国と言われる伝家の宝刀をノイマンが巧みに引き出した、明るく艶やかで、しかも陰影豊かな表現は流石だ。この曲にはドヴォルザーク特有の民族性はないが、ロマン派の抒情に満たされている。一方『チェコ組曲』ではポルカやフリアントの伝統的な舞踏のエレメントが使われていて、華やかな民族色をかもし出しているのが特徴だ。フルートやコーラングレーなどの木管パートの際立ったソロも特筆される。

序曲『フス教徒』はこのＣＤに収められている曲集の中でも最も作曲技巧を凝らせた作品で、１５世紀初頭に実在した宗教改革家ヤン・フスと彼に従った布教者達の劇的な物語のための音楽だが、それはベートーヴェンの『エグモント序曲』に通じるものがあるだろう。この曲は１８８３年に修復を終えたプラハ国民劇場こけら'落としのオープニング・セレモニーの折に初演されたそうだが、作品の性質上、程なくチェコ民衆の愛国心を煽る結果になったことは想像に難くない。それは当時のオーストリアからの政治的重圧への彼らの抵抗でもあった筈だ。こうした曲を本家の演奏で一度は鑑賞してみる価値があるし、その力強さと一種の熱狂は格別のものがある。

Grande Dvorak da parte di Neumann

2022年10月14日にイタリアでレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Questo disco è uno dei migliori esempi della tradizione esecutiva ceca di Dvorak. Il nome di Neumann non è altrettanto blasonato quanto quelli di Ancerl o Kubelik, ma la sua grandezza d'interprete non è certo inferiore. E qui, con l'Orchestra Filarmonica Ceca in piena forma, si produce in interpretazioni totalmente idomatiche di pezzi più e meno noti del grande compositore ceco. Se lo Scherzo Capriccioso è forse leggermente sottotono, le due ouverture e la meravigliosa Suite Ceca (opera troppo sottovalutata e poco eseguita) sono interpretazioni di primissimo livello, con i legni della filarmonica ceca degni della loro leggendaria fama. E, come bonus, è presente pure l'affascinante Notturno in si maggiore, rarissimo esempio da parte di Dvorak di turgore cromatico di ascendenza wagneriana: una strada che il musicista boemo deciderà di abbandonare immediatamente.

A magisterial concert from Neumann and Czech Philharmonic

2007年7月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Vaclav Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic demonstrate again here why they were one of the best combinations in Dvoark's orchestral music. This attractive collection constitutes a 72-minute CD that shows off Dvoraks's dramatic, national and bucolic natures in idiomatic and compelling performances.

Dvorak composed the Czech Suite for orchestra in D major after he had gained some fame for his Slavonic dances and rhapsodies. It was first performed in May 1879, was exceptionally well-recieved, and has been a staple of his repertoire ever since. Its five alternately delightful and playful movements are prelude, polka, minuet, romance and a brilliant finale marked "furiant". I once owned a recording where this was mated to the composer's Wind Serenade; I think it is far better placed kicking off this all-orchestral program.

Dvorak wrote the "Hussite" Overture in 1881 for the occasion a new national theater beign opened. Its Czech topic was a 15th century Christian movement that became a forerunner to the Protestant Reformation. The Hussites have been the subject of numerous Czech composers and Dvorak had previously written about them for the stage. The dramatic 13 1/2 minute overture -- built on a theme that the Hussites are warriors of God -- recalls the symphonies Nos. 7 & 8 in its range of expression and drama.

"My Home" was originally one of nine compositions about the composer's homeland. While the others have passed into obscurity, the overture on national Czech themes, which is of about half the duration of "The Hussites", continues as a mainstay in Dvorak's repertoire and is regulalry recorded. The near 9-minute Notturno in B major, written first as part of a string quartet, is constructed on few themes, is genuinely reflective in nature, and is the earliest composition (1875) on this concert.

Finally, the CD closes with a riveting performance of Dvoark's noble Scherzo Capriccioso Op. 66, a 15 minute episode the composer intended to be a lighthearted break from the drama of his previous composition, the Piano Trio in F minor Op. 65. The notes tell us this: "...but the troubled mood that pervaded Dvorak's spirit at the time eventually surfaced here...evoking expressions of resistance and acceuntuated determination." There's all that and more in this performance.

Recorded variably from 1969-82 and remastered via 24 bit resolution in 2005, the sound on these recordings is always listenable but never up to current 21st century standards. The playing and interpretation, however, is characteristically Dvorakian and rarely bettered. Anyone that's heard the late Dvoark symphonies and perhaps the string or wind serenades and wants to expand their knowledge of the composer could do much worse than acquiring this concert. I find it remarkably entertaining and always sympathetic to Dvorak's varying tunefulness, imagination, and moods.

Best Czech Suite I ever heard

2012年4月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I first encountered this recording of the Czech Suite in a Telefunken box from the early '70s. No other recording in my experience has matched it. Very happy to find the cd. FWIW the Nocturne and Scherzo were coupled with the Symphonic Variations on an earlier Supraphon lp, also released via Nonesuch.
