Čzeska suita, op. 39 / String Quintet, op. 77
Album by Antonín Dvořák & Ensemble Acht
Česká suita, Op.39 / String Quintet, Op.77 is a recording of two chamber works by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1879 and 1875 respectively. Both pieces draw on Bohemian folk elements, modal harmonies and warm, contrapuntal chamber textures, illustrating Dvořák's development of nationalistic themes and his evolving approach to form and instrumentation during his middle compositional period.
