The fourth half-dozen volumes of the Ancerl Gold series are characterized, apart from the representativeness that accompanies the series as a whole, a fine balance of style and programming. Namely, this batch includes three titles featuring Czech music, alongside another three albums of works from the international repertoire; plus, this instalment brings a tasteful blend of purely symphonic music, concert works, and sacred vocal production. Romantic souls will rejoice at the presentation here of a Dvorak title compiled, in one of Ancerl´s artistically most eloquent creations, from a dazzling parade of compositions, including the popular Carnival overture with a palette of moods that pivots alternatively around Bacchus and Pan; and the Sixth Symphony, featuring one of Dvorak´s most suggestive furiant dance numbers. A legendary comeback is being marked here by the reissue of Tchaikovsky´s Piano Concerto in B flat minor with Svyatoslav Richter, seconded in no less grand style by the concert violin display of Bartok specialist Andre Gertler. A veritable musical feast is celebrated in Ancerl´s reading of Shostakovich´s "Leningrad" Symphony. The high emotionality and tragic drama of Shostakovich can hardly be more credible anywhere else than it is here, delivered by a conductor whose bitter wartime experience stayed with him throughout the rest of his life. While the originality of the compositional idioms of Janacek and Martinu is clearly discernible after the first few bars of their music, the artistic legacy of Ladislav Vycpalek ranks alongside the most profound manifestations of philosophical spirit in Czech music, and is certain to come as a pleasant surprise for the discriminating music-lover in particular.
