ZDENEK FIBICH (1850-1900): Orchestral Works, Vol. 3 - Othello, Op. 6, Spring, Op. 13, Záboj, Slavoj and Ludek, Op. 37, The Tempest, Op. 46, Toman and the Wood Nymph, Op. 49.

Description: Less well-known and less recorded than his symphonies, these tone poems have a lot to offer. Smetana pops up quite a bit here and there and Fibich is equally winning in large-scale patriotism and in nature evocations; this might be the best-sounding recording ever of these pieces. Czech National Symphony Orchestra; Marek Stilec.
