About

Dvořák's symphonic poems are fascinating works because they offer a perfect combination of colourful orchestration, lively narrative art and deeply-rooted Czech folk music tradition.

The poems recorded here, The Water Goblin (1896), The Midday Witch (1896) and The Golden Spinning Wheel (1896), in particular, demonstrate the composer's ability to paint musical pictures and tell stories in a haunting way.

The Sinfonieorchester Basel is one of Switzerland's oldest and most innovative orchestras. With strong roots in northwestern Switzerland and under the direction of British-born Ivor Bolton, it has an impressive nationwide and international reputation.

Reviews

Ivor Bolton and the Sinfonieorchester Basel balance a meticulous approach to dynamics and articulation with a clear enthusiasm for their role as storytellers. […] The wind playing, notably the solo flute in The Golden Spinning Wheel, is superb throughout.
