Today’s Sunday Music Show looks back at the work of a great Czech musician – a man of musically royal blood – who died last week at the age of 81: the inimitable Josef Suk, a violinist who set the standard for how Czech classical music is played everywhere in the world. Here to paint a picture of how the maestro was regarded at home and abroad, and to illustrate his import to classical music, is music journalist and critic Dr Petr Veber, who heads the department of classical music at our sister station Vltava.
