Bohumír Stehlík – Suk: About mother

A set of character pieces "About mother" by Josek Suk, son-in-law of Antonín Dvořák and grandfather of the famous violinst Josek Suk. These pieces are not about Suk's mother, but written for his children about their mother, his wife Otílie ("Otilka") Dvořák. Judging by these pieces she must have been a fiery and tender mother and he must loved her very much. In recent years Suk's music has begun to be appreciated in its own right. The subtitle of this set is like "Simple pieces for his children" but there is nothing simple about them.
