Asrael Symphony
Album by Josef Suk & Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra & Claus Peter Flor
The Asrael Symphony is the second symphony by Czech composer Josef Suk, completed in 1906. It exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral writing with sombre, mournful textures and expansive orchestration, conceived as a funeral symphony that represents a pivotal, introspective period in Suk's career and a notable example of early 20th-century Czech symphonic music.
First released: June 2009
