{"product_id":"099925436124","title":"Suk, Martinů, Fišer: Skladby pro housle s klavírem - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis CD brings together works by Josef Suk, Bohuslav Martinů and Luboš Fišer, performed by young virtuosos Daniel Matejča on violin and Jan Schulmeister on piano. Matejča’s Supraphon debut attracted considerable attention, with international critics praising his remarkable talent, while Schulmeister won third prize at the prestigious The Cliburn Junior Competition in Texas. In the same year, the Matejča–Schulmeister duo won the chamber music category of the Concertino Praga competition, opening the way to the studio and this recording. Rather than choosing showy virtuoso pieces, the musicians selected demanding Czech twentieth-century repertoire: Suk’s Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Martinů’s Czech Rhapsody and First Violin Sonata, and Fišer’s violin sonata Hands. Martinů wrote the Czech Rhapsody in the United States shortly after the end of the war for the then 70-year-old Fritz Kreisler, and its solo part remains a major technical challenge. His First Violin Sonata dates from his Paris period in 1929, with jazz elements and an occasionally impressionistic piano part. Fišer’s Hands, originally intended to be called Crux, was composed in 1961 during the period of hard-line communism. As violinist Ivan Štraus, who premiered the sonata, explained, it can be understood as a free depiction of the Stations of the Cross, moving through scourging, hatred, anxiety and a funeral procession to a celebration of the Resurrection in the concluding apotheosis, accompanied by bells.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Supraphon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54025671737691,"sku":"099925436124","price":30.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0640228.jpg?v=1789065942","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/products\/099925436124","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
