Fantastic scherzo for orchestra, Op 25

Available for over a year

Evocative of the Czech meadows and woodland of his homeland, Suk’s Fantastic Scherzo reminds the listener of Smetana’s inspiring Ma Vlast. The use of brass, woodwind and strings as characters of nature is clear, creating a deeply satisfying work. Composer: Josef Suk Performers: BBC National Orchestra of Wales Conductor: Richard Hickox Recording date: 27 April 2002 Date of broadcast: 29 April 2002
