  • Description

    Thirty years after having recorded Dvo?ák's complete Symphonies on Chandos, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and its laureate conductor Neeme Järvi tackle another romantic Czech composer: Julius Fu?ík, famous for his more than 400 polkas, marches, and waltzes, some of the best of which are featured here.Fu?ík studied violin in his early years, switchinglater to the bassoon, with a subsidiary in percussion and timpani. Playing in Austrian regiments, he gained invaluable experience of writing for military band and became a very prolific composer of marches. The most famous of these is of course Entry of the Gladiators, completed in 1899 and performed throughout the world ever since.Full of energetic, effervescent Bohemian cross- rhythms, tuneful brass melodies (often now associated with a circus atmosphere), but also more lyrical expressions, this album is a festival in itself.
