Walter Weller (Dir) // Suk's 'Asrael' Symphony, of a dimension worthy of Mahler, written by a man crucified by pain, is slowly finding its way into the limelight. The work has been written after the deaths of Suk's father-in-law, Dvorak and his young wife, Otilie. Rarely recorded, the 'Legend ' is Suk's tribute to the Czech soldiers who died during World War I; an extraordinary short piece suggesting another vision of how to overcome death.
