Lorin Cohen - Home - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Gottlieb Wallisch is a specialist in the music of the 1920s and 1930s as can be heard in Grand Piano's 20th Century Foxtrots series. Here he turns his attention to Wilhelm Grosz, the Viennese composer, pianist, conductor and orchestrator who was a musician of remarkable versatility and wide-ranging influences. All but one of the works in this collection are world premiere recordings.

Renowned bass-baritone Adam Plachetka celebrates the Year of Czech Music with an anthology of Czech evening songs by Antonin Dvorak, Bedrich Smetana, Zdenek Fibich and Josef Suk. All based on love poems for Vitezslav Halek's Vecerni pisne (Evening Songs), these songs provide a panorama of great Czech music, also zooming in on lesser-known repertoire. Plachetka performs them together with pianist David svec. Bass-baritone Adam Plachetka frequents the world's most prestigious opera houses, and is a MET regular, equally at home in dramatic and comic repertoire. He returns to PENTATONE after having released Molieri, combining opera arias by Mozart and Salieri, in 2022.
