Novák: String Quartet/Piano Quintet
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Hardly anyone knows all the worthwhile music written by Dvorřak. But if you find yourself wishing there were more, you might do well to investigate Vítezslav Novák (1870-1949), who drew inspiration from folk music and from his famous teacher. Both of these pieces were composed while Dvorřak was still alive, but Novák remained faithful to this folk-inflected romantic style throughout his long career. The earlier Piano Quintet tends to ramble a bit more, but it has a particularly delightful finale labeled "In the Slovak style." The String Quartet, in two long movements, could almost be mistaken for Dvorřak--which is meant as praise. Fine performances by little-known Czech musicians. --Leslie Gerber

The String Quintet, a live performance recorded in stereo in 1978, is a lovely version of a lovely piece. But the disc's major historical interest is in the Piano Quintet, recorded on 78s in 1947 and once issued on an early Mercury LP. Frantisek Maxian was a student of Vilem Kurz, for whom Dvořák wrote his Piano Concertos. The Ondricek Quartet was founded in 1921 and still had two of its original members in 1947. In other words, this richly inflected performance is steeped in tradition and gives us a taste of Dvořák's music as it might have been heard shortly after the composer's death. A real treasure. --Leslie Gerber
