Of course, Dostal is right at home in the lovely Romantic suite In My Mountains, which begins with a gentle morning pastoral and ends "On the Summit." The concert waltz "Vienna Memories" has a more generic quality, but the Blues-Fantasie for piano and orchestra shows Dostal ranging farther afield--and quite successfully too. Finally, the luscious miniature "A Moon for Lovers" sounds for all the world like a lost work of Ketèlby, and it's certainly no worse off for that. It may be pure kitsch (crooning saxophone and all), but it's high quality kitsch. Dostal loved it, and no wonder. We can presume that all of the performances, under the composer himself, embody exactly what he wanted. He certainly gets polished playing from the Berlin Philharmonic. The 1979 sonics, while not state of the art, also leave little to be desired. Good, clean fun.
