About

Linn is thrilled to commence a new collaboration with one of the most renowned orchestras in Germany, Cologne-based WDR Sinfonieorchester, with the fast-rising star of the conducting world, Cristian Măcelaru, at the helm. In this first album, the all-Dvořák programme includes the composer’s Legends, op.59, and the Czech Suite in D major, op.39. Initially written for piano four-hands – a highly profitable market in those days – the rather contemplative Legends were shortly later orchestrated for relatively small forces by Dvořák. Though not carrying a specific story, the ten Legends have somewhat an epic character as if they fused in one continuous narrative. The dance-based Czech Suite epitomises Dvořák’s unrivalled folk suffused writing. The four-movement work ends with a superb Furiant, which brings the album to a close.
