Meditation on an old Czech hymn "St Wenceslas", Op 35a

Composer: Josef Suk
Performers: Signum Quartet
Recording date: 02 June 2013
Date of broadcast: 11 August 2013

Suk, a Czech, wrote his meditation in response to the Austrian government鈥檚 wish to have concerts open with the Austrian national anthem. The music is nostalgic and patriotic. It would have tugged the heart-strings of Suk鈥檚 fellow countrymen.
