Comment:Famed Smetana Trio in two of the best loved works in the piano trio repertoire!

Comment:Vorisek's (1791-1825) complete sacred music recorded for the first time, live in Prague's Church of the Virgin Mary under the Chain. Tomasek (1774-1850) was Vorisek's teacher. Authentic performances from Musica Florea and Marek Stryncl.

Comment:The first ever release of this 1963 recording of Janacek's comic opera conducted by Vaclav Neumann.

Comment:Martinu's last opera, based on the novel Christ Recrucified by Nikos Kazantzakis. This recording from 1981 aimed to bring the Czech text closer to Martinu's intentions.

Comment:Jitka Cechova is pianist with the Smetana Trio. This "live" recording features her in some of the most challenging works in the piano repertory.

Comment:Alongside Clarinet Factory (aka Czech Clarinet Quartet) and Alan Vitous on percussion are the Epoque Quartet and Lenka Dusilova, vocals. As Clarinet Factory say: "Isn't it time we stopped thinking about definitions and started enjoying a journey…"

Comment:Timeless Gregorian Chant mixes with contemporary music for solo cello, coming together in a "Dialogue" between voices, cello and almost vocal sounds of harp and vibraphone.

Comment:The string quartet format accompanied Foerster throught his life. They are collected here, and include his 5th Quartet from 1951, ending a creative a journey that took him 65 years!
