Novák: The Storm

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This glorious, epic choral work tells the story of humanity's ceaseless battle against the sea, and uses this image as a metaphor for...oh, who cares what it's a metaphor for, anyway? The point is that Novak is one of the great Czech composers of the 20th century, and a musical voice that demands to be heard. That this richly orchestrated, poetic, and exciting piece remains almost completely unknown in the West simply defies comprehension. The opening is immediately arresting: an orchestral flourish leads to a vivid evocation of the turbulent sea, and this image returns at crucial moments to unify the various episodes (including a spectacular shipwreck). This performance is in every way worthy of the music, and the recording is lovely. --David Hurwitz
