‘The slimmed-down Prague Symphony Orchestra play alertly
‘The result is gloriously romantic, and this performance from Marek Štilec and the Hradec Králové Philharmonic will leave you wondering why [Cyrano de Bergerac] hasn’t been recorded more frequently. The Czech players bring a red-blooded commitment to the more passionate pages of the score; they’re lilting and playful in the (slightly Mahlerian) central scherzo and the woodwinds are both sweet and succulent.’ – Gramophone
enough, with ear-catching woodwind contributions in Kozeluch’s many solos… soprano Kristýna Vylíčilová… sings with feeling both in her touching arias and in a dramatic recitative that evokes Austria’s turbulent past.’ – Gramophone
MAGAZINE
Remy Franck’s Journal about Classical Music
‘Marek Štilec conducts all of this facile music well, and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice is in top form as is the recording.’ – Fanfare
‘The performances are lively, with expressive vigor and strong rhythmic cohesion. Marek Štilec’s conducting for Naxos’s whole Fibich series has been excellent, making a good case for a worthy less-known master.’ – American Record Guide
