Czech composer Vit\\u011bzslav Nov\\xe1k (1870-1949), who was one of Dvo\\u0159\\xe1k\\u2019s composition students, rose to prominence with a series of increasingly ambitious orchestral works that fused elements of folk music, impressionism and late-Romanticism. Raymond Bisha introduces Vol. 1 of his orchestral works performed by Marek \\u0160tilec and the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra. The programme pairs the heady intensity of\\xa0Toman and the Wood Nymph\\xa0with the subtle folk song undertones of the\\xa0South Bohemian Suite.
