Reviews:"…these discs offer something of more historical than aesthetic value. But played with such authority on instruments carefully chosen to be largely contemporaneous with each composer, supported by pleasingly uniform recording quality and well researched notes (including full details of the four instrument used), these are unquestionabably valuable and welcome releases." International Record Review - December 2003 (Collective review of the three Vixen Czech Organ CDs)
Comment:This CD includes several World premiere recordings.
Reviews:"… all excellently sung." John Warrack, International Record Review, January 2004
Comment:Janacek's earliest surviving orchestral work is coupled with Mahler's arrangement of Schubert that he made in 1894.
Comment:Violin magician Paganini could also play a "mean" guitar as he displays in these Sonatas.
Comment:Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859-1951) composed choral music throught his working life. Vixen have added some World Premier recordings in this collection - 35 choruses in total! Sung texts in English, Czech, French and German. Music discovered!
