I love the music of Josef Suk. This piece should be played more. It has a "dreamy" quality about it as well as drama.

The orchestra does a very good job on this wonderful piece of music.

This is really a very sensitive interpretation - others play it faster, but they then suppress the tenderness and magic of this piece.
