{"product_id":"099925422028","title":"Kytice \/ Bouquet of Flowers - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis classical recording brings together Bohuslav Martinů’s Bouquet, H 260 (1937), a cycle of settings of folk texts for mixed and children’s choirs, soloists and orchestra, and Jan Novák’s Philharmonic Dances. The performers include soprano Kateřina Kněžíková, alto Michaela Kapustová, tenor Jaroslav Březina, bass Adam Plachetka, the Prague Philharmonic Choir conducted by Lukáš Vasilek, the Kühn Children’s Choir conducted by Jiří Chvála, and the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tomáš Netopil. Bohuslav Martinů and Jan Novák share the fate of exiles and wanderers, as well as the relationship of teacher and pupil: Novák recalled his six-month study with Martinů in New York in 1947 as a decisive period in his artistic and personal development. Echoes of his teacher’s musical language can also be heard in Philharmonic Dances, a triptych of symphonic fantasies that gives the orchestra’s musicians and sections ample space to display their virtuosity. This is the work’s first studio recording. The album’s central work, Martinů’s Bouquet, receives a new recording more than sixty years after Karel Ančerl’s historic 1955 version with the Czech Philharmonic. Tomáš Netopil brings the piece to full bloom, while the performers approach Martinů’s settings of folk ballads with the care and sensitivity of experienced gardeners. Martinů’s Moravian folk song was his most precious and irreplaceable source of inspiration, shaping his unmistakable musical language and drawing him back again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Supraphon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54025652437339,"sku":"099925422028","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0307658.jpg?v=1789065924","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/products\/099925422028","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
