MILOSLAV KABELAC
SYMPHONIES COMPLETE
· Maurice Ravel's predilection for
fantasy worlds and exotic ambience
can be heard in many of his
orchestral works. Even as a student
he composed the Ouverture de
Sheherezade and had planned to
write an opera based on the fairytales
of teh Arabian Nights.
·
in the end, all that remains are three
poems for voice and orchestra.
Stéphanie d'Oustrac sings these
songs rapturously and with exactly
the right feel for oriental opulence.
· Thematically, this collection of great
Polish choral works turns between
religion, war and Polish folk culture.
The wide range and compositional
depth of the pieces are simply
spectacular.
·
Considering Poland's turbulent
political history, it is surprising that
the country has produced so many
outstanding composers, particularly
those of the 20th century such
as Karol Szymanowski, Krzystof
Penderecki and Witold Lutoslawski.
· The wind ensemble La Scintilla dei
Fiati is composed of members of
Orchestra La Scintilla at Zurich Opera.
Through their work, the ensemble
aims to revive the extensive, partly
neglected, yet wonderful repertoire of
a musical form which had such a rich
tradition in the courts of Europe in
the late 18th century.
·
These musicians dedicate a
significant part of their working lives
to chamber music.
· Miloslav Kabelác (1908-1979) was
a prominent Czech composer and
conductor whose work was often
compared with Antonín Dvoák's and
Bohuslav Martin's.
·
The Prague Radio Symphony
Orchestra, formed in 1945, brings
new life to Kabelác's symphonies.
Symphony No. 8 was written as a
reflection of Kabelác's emotions
during the invasion of Warsaw in
1968.
