Josef Suk (1874 – 1935)
Asrael
Symphony in 5 Movements, op. 27
Essen Philharmonic
Tomas Netopil, conductor
This is one of the few recordings of Josef Suk‘s rarely performed Symphony, with which the composer came to terms with personal blows of fate, cap-tured in this recording with sensitivity and meticulous detail. This produc-tion marks the beginning of a highly promising collaboration between the Essen Philharmonic and OehmsClassics. Meyerbeer‘s Le prophète has al-ready been planned for 2018.
