{"product_id":"the-many-pupils-of-antonin-dvorak","title":"The Many Pupils of Antonin Dvorak","description":"A look at the great talent of Dvorak's pupils in an original selection of famous  and less famous works  The present compilation - a sequel to the 3CD set The Many Loves of Antonin  Dvorak - is intended as a timely reminder of the wealth and sheer diversity  of talented Czech composers who emerged from Dvorak's masterclass at  the Prague Conservatoire during the 1890s and early 1900s. Dvorak,  approaching fifty and at the height of his fame, had been persuaded  to devote some of his time to teaching at the Conservatoire, thereby creating  a lasting legacy, an influential \"Dvorak School\" of composers, several of whom  went on to teach at the Conservatoire themselves, passing on the tradition  to future generations. Naturally, the most room is given to Josef Suk,  the pupil of Dvorak who left the most original legacy of compositions.  A separate CD is devoted to Dvorak's lesser-known pupils: the talented  melodist Oskar Nedbal won fame for his operettas, and Julius Fucik is  celebrated for his witty marches, while the legendary violinist Jaroslav Kocian  wrote music for his own instrument, and the Czechoslovak Legionnaire Rudolf  Karel was an exemplary patriot. Also of interest are composers who are  entirely forgotten apart from a single work of greater significance, like Adolf  Piskacek, Vojtech Kuchynka, and Arnost Praus. A third CD belongs  to the underappreciated master Vitezslav Novak, whose distinctive  modernism builds upon Dvorak in an interesting manner. Once again, there  is an excellent selection of music from the Supraphon catalogue with all of  the most important names such as the violinist Josef Suk, the pianist Ivan  Moravec, and the conductors Vaclav Talich, Karel sejna, and Libor Pesek.  Other outstanding performers on this compilation include Igor Ardashev,  Jan Panenka, Emil Leichner, Josef Vlach, Josef Veselka, Karla sroubek, Vaclav  Snitil, Richard Novak, Beno Blachut, Ivan Kusnjer, and many others. The English  music journalist Patrick Lambert, an important expert on Czech music with  deep knowledge of the Supraphon catalogue, selected the music and wrote  the insightful text in the booklet.","brand":"Supraphon","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":45849702695146,"sku":"099925436629","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4484354-3505375.jpg?v=1778210340","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/the-many-pupils-of-antonin-dvorak","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
