Amazon.com It's a pity Dvorák didn't write more music for this combination of instruments, because these pieces are all greatly inspired. The Sonatina is on a little more modest scale than the Sonata, but it's a substantial piece also. If you love Dvorák's gorgeous melodies and leisurely development, be assured that these pieces are as beautiful as any of his music. I'm not about to say that these Czech performers are somehow more authentic than Gil and Orli Shaham (Deutsche Grammophon 449 820-2), who also play beautifully. But these are gorgeous, well-balanced performances, recorded in the superb acoustic of the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. --Leslie Gerber Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBeautiful Performances of Music That Should Be Better Known James Skrydlak | Pella, Iowa | 09/02/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "It is a shame that Dvorak's music for violin and piano is not often played or recorded. Czech violinist Ivan Zenaty and Czech-Canadian Antonin Kubalek, who emigrated to Canada when the Russian tanks crushed 1968's Prague spring, make a grand case for this music with their expansive, romantic performances. Every piece is a gem; the Op. 100 sonatina is a neglected masterpiece. I cannot recommend this disc highly enough; it's a real find." Sparkling performances of underappreciated pieces chefdevergue | Spokane, WA United States | 10/07/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "The mere fact that one CD can contain Dvorak's complete music for violin & piano is a shame. For some reason, Dvorak's violin music (exluding the Romanze & the Humoresque) seems to fall between the cracks. His violin concerto, for example, is a fabulous piece which is amazingly under-performed, considering Dvorak's prominence as a composer.However, this collection more than makes the case for these pieces being performed more regularly. The Sonatina is relatively well-known, but I cannot say I had ever heard the Ballad or the Mazurek ever before. Zenaty & Kubalek do a splendid job on all pieces. If you are not familiar with Antonin Kubalek's performances, you should check out his other recordings on the Dorian label. He is a marvelous pianist, and is a wonderful interpreter of Czech music (and also Brahms).This is a worthy addition in any classical collection." Antonin twice chefdevergue | 04/27/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "The famous Antons (Dvorak and Kubalek) makes together with Zenaty the union of century. I have also wonderful recording of Dvorak's piano quintets (Kubalek and Lafayette Quartet), which was released for DORIAN label, too... Try it."
