About

"In the Tatras is a superb tone poem of the highest hills, glorious sun-dazzling renewal and exalted mystery. Delius's Song of the High Hills and Strauss's Alpine Symphony are mood-cousins. The first movement of the Suite blends Delian luxuriance with Dvořák's naive romantic and sprightly nationalism ... [Eight Nocturnes] These range from the glistening Stars in the Water to the Night Journey - full of dark and disruptive currents and the dreamy atmosphere of some Bohemian nightride and sunrise. Christ Child's Lullaby has the innocent wonder of Canteloube's Songs of Auvergne. Utterly treasurable.  Straková creamily floats the long vocal lines with an engaging sense of joyous discovery....Do get this disc, made a compulsive purchase by the song cycle.” - Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International
