Cellist Jan Vogler's new album, a collaborative project from the Moritzburg Festival, features chamber music of Antonin Dvořák. He enlists the talents of several younger colleagues who have promising careers in their own right. The centerpiece selections are the Op. 87 Piano Quartet and Op. 90 "Dumky" Trio with three shorter works interspersed.
"the 'Prelude' here is again a song arrangement - 'Songs my mother taught me', in which ( joined by the pianist Juho Pohjonen) Vogler pours out smooth, warm tone with unindulgent restraint...The focus, however, is on two of Dvořák's great chamber works, in performances that conjure up the spirit of the Moritzburg Festival, where Vogler is director." BBC Music
"The choice of pieces here gives us a nice array of Dvořák chamber repertoire...selections like the Dumky are well-worth the listen." TheClassicReview
