Rudolf Firkušný
early 1970sAn 'iconic Janáček set' and Gil's top recommendation. Firkušný, also Moravian, studied under Janáček and 'obviously has the feel of these works.' He plays with 'beautiful tone, beautiful color, [and a] wonderful feel for the rhythms of the Moravian folk music.' Very well recorded.
