Meditation on an old Czech hymn "St Wenceslas", Op 35a

Available for over a year

Suk, a Czech, wrote his meditation in response to the Austrian government’s wish to have concerts open with the Austrian national anthem. The music is nostalgic and patriotic. It would have tugged the heart-strings of Suk’s fellow countrymen. Composer: Josef Suk Performers: Signum Quartet Recording date: 02 June 2013 Date of broadcast: 11 August 2013
