Robert Hanson, Conductor

 

Janacek    Suite from Cunning Little Vixen

Kurka       Suite from The Good Soldier Schweik

Dvorak      Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World")

For those of you unfamilar with Robert Kurka's opera The Good Soldier Schweik, the suite is for winds and percussion only.  It is a wonderful little work...also, quite difficult to perform.  I was lucky enough to get to play the one trombone part on this piece!
