Prague Philharmonia, Jakub Hrůša conductor

Young conductor Jakub Hrusa, an artist who records exclusively for Supraphon, follows up his debut CD of Dvorák pieces with a new studio recording of Dvorák's Suite in A major and Josef Suk's Scherzo Fantastique and Serenade in E flat major. Hrusa brings out all the best qualities of the young Prague Philharmonia and also pours the whole of his own immense talent into Dvorák and Suk's music. Dvorák's lyrical Suite in A major, Suk's festively majestic Scherzo, and finally the stirring Serenade in E flat major are further rungs in Jakub Hrusa's rapidly climbing artistic career. This extraordinarily gifted young conductor continues to surprise audiences at home and abroad with the artistic maturity of his performance.
