		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.

		His happy years as a husband with a famous father-in-law (Antonin Dvorak) and the loss he felt when his wife died is a somewhat well known tale, as is the darkness of his music after he was widowed.
		Since most record labels are somewhat skittish (a mild understatement) about releasing new recordings, we may not find all that many new recordings of Suks work in the near future, but at least we have this recording to give us a glimpse of what we are missing.
		Josef Suk should be far better known, especially when promoted by terrific recordings like this one.

	Rough Guides Music: Josef Suk
		Before he had reached the age of 20, Josef Suk was being hailed as the musical heir of Antonín Dvorák, his father-in-law and teacher.
		Yet the resemblances are less important than the differences between Dvorák and a composer he once accused of writing too much in the melancholic minor keys.
		Suk's music has almost nothing of the joyful pastoralism that's so common to Dvorák, and in his orchestral pieces – in particular Asrael – Suk's use of huge orchestral forces to create vast expressions of anguish suggests closer affinities with Mahler.

	Josef Suk - Quasi Ballata Op.17/1, Appassionato Op 17/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		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.

	JAROSLAV JEZEK
		Jaroslav Jezek studied composition at the Prague Conservatory under Josef Suk, highly cultivated composer who himself carried subjective lyricism and coloristic impressionism into the most subtle and bold modern symphonic forms but left his pupils complete freedom in their own expression or choice of direction.
		During the decade 1928-38, Jezek composed, for twenty revues and plays performed on this stage, numerous songs, dances, marches, and whole scenes which not only were hummed and sung by Prague youth of all classes but were highly appreciated by musical connoisseurs.
		Though Jezek actually condemned the opera as an obsolete art from, several of the scenes he composed for these revues are not too removed from the style which Busoni introduced to the stage in his still insufficiently appreciated comic opera Arlecchino.
