	(Josef Suk) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Josef Suk (1874-1935), a Czech composer of quartets, piano music, and symphonic tone poems, was Antonin Dvorak's son-in-law and favorite student.
		Suk’s musical treatment of classic fairy-tale themes (metamorphoses, curses, magic potions) is suffused with an engaging child-like sense of wonder.
		Suk’s lusciously silvery orchestration is enchantingly gossamer in “Love and Grief of the King’s Children”, a concertante for solo violin a la “Scherazade.” The dynamic rhythms of “Folk Dance” are imbued with a pastoral exuberance.

	Walt Disney Concert Hall - Piece Detail
		Suk was always most at home in instrumental ensemble music, and the string writing glows with warm assurance.
		Suk did not much share Dvorák's interest in folk materials, but it is hard not to hear the dance intimations in the second movement, again sprung from a falling triad.
		Suk's tempo qualifications are instructive: the first movement was an Andante "with motion" and this is an Allegro "but not too much and graceful." No madcap scherzo, this is a gentrified country dance marked with characteristic hemiola passages (two groups of three beats changed into three groups of two beats).

		Josef Suk was born in Krecovice in 1874 and entered the Prague Conservatory in 1885 to study violin and composition, and his piano quartet was a piece written as his examination composition in 1891.
		Suk soon became Dvorák's favorite pupil and in 1898 married Dvorák's daughter Otilie, with whom he had a very happy family life.
		Despite his association with Dvorák, Suk was not influenced by Czech folk music or literature and instead developed a highly individual approach, full of self-quotation and personal symbolism which reflected his rich inner life and imagination.

	INKPOT#83/II CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Requiem Cycle II - SUK Asrael Symphony. Bavarian Radio SO/Kubelik (Panton)
		Josef Suk on the deaths of Dvorak and Otylka Suk.
		Mahler's Ninth is a towering, death-ridden piece written under the embrace of his own illness and the tragedies of his preceding years; Josef Suk's Asrael Symphony is a prophetic memorial constructed as an orchestral requiem in the wake of interminable grief.
		In the face of overwhelming unhappiness, and believing music was the only way to save him from utter despair, Suk changed the planned structure, abandoning the elegy-celebration outline he had envisaged, and wrote the remainder as a memorial to his Otylka.

		Suk was after all a pupil of Dvorák's.
		In Suk's hands the Concerto's innocence and lack of affectation are never in doubt and in this he is aided by the most sympathetic of partners.
		Suk is another such who handles the full-blooded passion of the piece as well as the romantic delicacy.

	ArkivMusic \| Josef Suk: Smetana, Dvorak, Suk
		It's something of a family affair, given the fact that he is the great-grandson of Dvorák and the grandson of the composer Josef Suk, and while this doesn't invariably guarantee authoritative performances, all of the music-making here is outstanding.
		The performances date from the period 1963-72, but in all cases the sonics are consistently excellent, with realistic timbres and natural balances, with Suk's scrupulous taste and idiomatic sense of style (as with his keyboard colleagues) effortlessly projected in each work.
		Suk perfectly captures the innocent freshness of Dvorák's Sonatina (not such a small work after all), offering a particularly gorgeous account of the second-movement Larghetto.

		Dvořák’s favourite pupil, Josef Suk, showed his precocity, aged 18, in his Serenade for Strings, and in 1891 founding the Czech Quartet with fellow students.
		The more intimate side of Suk is reflected in his piano music, much associated with his domestic life.
		In his later years the volume of Suk’s compositions decreased markedly, largely because of his commitments to the Czech Quartet.

		There is only one official 'dumka' in this set of Suk piano pieces, but it is a characteristic example, beginning in woe minor and abundantly cheerful in its middle section.
		The piece is No 5 of Suk's Op 7, half a dozen miniatures all written before he was twenty and about the time Brahms was producing his late keyboard works.
		The five 'mood' pieces begin with a 'Legend' that again pays tribute to the dumka, but Suk is now more adventurous harmonically and has clearly pricked up a listening ear beyond the Rhine.

	Josef Suk - Quasi Ballata Op.17/1, Appassionato Op 17/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Czech composer Josef Suk was best known in his lifetime as a violinist; for a long time afterwards he was best remembered, at least outside Czechoslovakia, as the son-in-law of Antonìn Dvorák.
		However, his orchestral works have made a gradual return to the concert hall, and his masterpiece, the Asrael symphony Op.27 (1906), was performed in the CBSO’s final concert at Birmingham Town Hall in 1991.
		These four miniatures typify Suk’s musical style, showing him firmly in the turn-of-the-century, late-romantic mainstream, although possessed of a very Bohemian rhythmic sense and a distinctly personal strain of lyricism.

	Amazon.co.uk: Suk: Fantastic Scherzo/A Summer's Tale [Import]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A "musical poem" was how Josef Suk described his 1907-9 masterpiece A Summer's Tale, the second in the series of four large-scale compositions he penned after the double-whammy of the deaths of his father-in-law Dvor´k and wife Otylka.
		The remaining two movements--the unforgettable heat-haze of "Noon" and melancholic strains of "Blind Musicians"-- are scored with breathtaking originality and imagination.
		Not surprisingly, Sir Charles Mackerras and the Czech PO prove hugely eloquent advocates of Suk's heartwarming inspiration, and if Libor Pesek's outstanding RLPO version on Virgin Classics is by no means outclassed, Mackerras has the sizeable advantage of a spick-and-span performance of the adorable Fantastic Scherzo (1903-4).
