Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859-1951) is… an enthralling composer. His chromatic, highly expressive harmonic style and sophisticated orchestral writing place him firmly in the company of late Romantics such as Strauss, Elgar and his friend Mahler, but his music, with its clearly defined phrases and lyrical tone, retains a distinctively Czech character. Ivan Zenatý plays with lovely tone and wide expressive range, contributing his own idiomatic cadenza to Op 88. The BBC So under Belohlávek matches his warmth and conviction.
