Our Take

Upon first listen to the Vienna Chamber Orchestra/Capella Istropolitana/ Philippe Entremont/ Jaroslav Krecek collaboration on Tchaikovsky/Dvorak Serenades for Strings, one cannot help but be transported to a whimsical world of classical bliss. The delicate strings dance and weave through each composition with a finesse that is simply mesmerizing.

Entremont's conducting is nothing short of impeccable, guiding the orchestras with a light touch that somehow manages to simultaneously evoke both power and grace. The Capella Istropolitana in particular shines on this album, their precision and unity elevating each note to new heights.

From the gentle swell of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C Major, Op. 48 to the lively energy of Dvorak's Serenade for Strings in E major, Op. 22, this album is a true delight from start to finish. The orchestras effortlessly capture the essence of each composer, bringing their distinct voices to life in a way that is both refreshing and exhilarating.

Overall, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra/Capella Istropolitana/Philippe Entremont/Jaroslav Krecek have truly outdone themselves with this album. Tchaikovsky and Dvorak would no doubt be proud to have their serenades interpreted with such passion and skill. In a world filled with chaos and noise, this album is a welcome escape into a world of beauty and tranquility.
