This is the only available official recording of Karel Ancerl conducting Josef Suk’s Asrael. The Czech conductor has a deep connection with his compatriot's music. Asrael is central to Josef Suk’s oeuvre and an outstanding work in the Czech music repertoire. Asrael was composed as a double remembrance: of Suk’s father-in-law, Antonìn Dvorak; and Suk’s beloved wife (and Dvorak’s daughter) Otilie, both of whom died within a short period of time. The release has been digitally remastered from the original SWR tapes.
