Collectors and admirers of Dvoáks music bearing the hallmark of the Czech performance tradition can now add another comprehensive album to put alongside the previous complete Supraphon CDs mapping his chamber (SU 3815-2, SU 3921-2), piano (SU 4018-2) and symphonic works (SU 4090-2). The acclaimed recording of the symphonies, conducted by Václav Neumann, is now followed by Supraphons 8-CD box set featuring Dvoáks orchestral pieces and concertos. In addition to the celebrated Slavonic Dances, it contains a number of rarely recorded symphonic works (the Hussite Overture, My Home, A Heros Song), as well as splendid compositions for chamber and string orchestras. Besides recordings made under the baton of Neumann, it provides scope to other great Dvoák conductors Mackerras, Blohlávek and the rising star Jakub Hra. The set of orchestral works is rounded off by recordings of concertos, ranging from the virtually unknown Cello Concerto in A major, written by the young Dvoák, to the most frequently performed, the Cello Concerto in B minor. Supraphon has again carefully put together top-quality and time-honoured recordings of works performed by world-renowned soloists.
