While everything on this disc is attractive, the most captivating music resides in the five pieces from 1907, composed as pictures of his wife Otilie, who tragically had died two years before, as a memento for Suk's young son. Their searching, often quite dissonant harmonies along with the occasional passionate outbursts suggest rage about the composer's loss as well as sadness. Risto Lauriala is always responsive to Suk's bitter-sweet muse
