NEW RECORDING<br />
Dvořák’s overtures In Nature’s Realm and Carnival, completed in 1892, need no introduction. The case, however, is different with<br />
Symphony in E major, which Suk began composing a mere five years later, as Dvořák’s pupil. The symphony is – notwithstanding<br />
the composer’s tender age, 23 – a manifestation of absolute artistic maturity and independence. In 1899 the work was premiered<br />
by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Oskar Nedbal. Following the older recording by Václav Neumann with the<br />
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, this unjustly overlooked work is brought to listeners by the Prague Symphony Orchestra under the<br />
baton of the promising young Czech conductor Tomáš Netopil. A pupil of Jiří Bělohlávek and holder of a number of awards (victory<br />
in the Georg Solti Conductors’ Competition in Frankfurt, the main prize of the American Academy of Conducting in Aspen in 2003),<br />
Netopil already has a wealth of international experience behind him (Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic<br />
Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, Volksoper Wien, Teatro Regio Torino, etc.). The youthful Netopil has a firm grasp of<br />
Suk’s juvenility, however, he strips away the silt of the commonplace even from notoriously famous Dvořák works, affording them<br />
a fresh and novel sound.<br />
