I knew some of Suk's piano music but not these pieces. What incredible riches ! I imagine this is how Dvorak might have written had he lived longer, and had he had a more natural affinity with the piano. Suk is a composer who grows in status with every hearing. The inner glow of these pieces is peerless. Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you ! And what marvelous performances. It seems that Stepan had small hands as he rolls a lot of chords that are not marked as such and would be perfectly executable without arpeggio. Perhaps it is a style figure. Not that it matters any in such rarefied playing. Darn, yet more pieces for the already far too long to do list ... Though I guess the list is ok. Life is just too short :)
