..."An idiomatic performance from a “local” and accomplished orchestra, skilful conducting and first rate recording make this disc a real treat."... |

...It is thus interesting to listen to Fibich’s Symphony No 1 in F, Op 17, and his Op 54 symphonic suite Impressions from the Countryside, nicely performed by the Czech National Symphony... | |

...Do you like Dvorak? Then you’ll like Fibich…we may be grateful to Naxos for such a fine introduction...Stilec fills out the program handsomely with a suite called Impressions from the Countryside… |

| Rob Maynard MusicWeb International | ..Štilec’s account is altogether lighter and more airy than that of his rivals, fully in keeping with the emphasis he places on the score’s pastoral elements... -Rob Maynard |
