Karel Ancerl/Swf Orch B-B - Karel An?erl conducts Josef Suk Asrael & Isa Krej?i Serenata

This is the only available official recording of Karel Ancerl conducting Josef Suk�s Asrael. The Czech conductor has a deep connection with his compatriot's music. Asrael is central to Josef Suk�s oeuvre and an outstanding work in the Czech music repertoire. Asrael was composed as a double remembrance: of Suk�s father-in-law, Anton�n Dvorak; and Suk�s beloved wife (and Dvorak�s daughter) Otilie, both of whom died within a short period of time. The release has been digitally remastered from the original SWR tapes.
