About this product

Bohemian Stories encapsulates an intimate introspection of some Inchmusical talesInch from the Bohemian Romantic chamber music repertoire for violin and piano. In the 19th century we are spectators to an awakening of national consciousness that spreads to literary salons and theaters through the tendency of musicians to want to emancipate themselves from the ways of the hegemonic musical art, through a revaluation of popular heritage, highlighting characters of different historical-musical traditions. Freedom, independence, political autonomy, love of country and the security of one's own identity are the main driving forces of this era. The intent of the musicians of this era is to create a style that will elevate the country's musical language to a musical language of art, infusing it with new elements and an authentic national Inchcharacter.Inch In Bohemia, then included in the Habsburg Empire, this nationalist movement has a particular intensity, and by the late nineteenth century one can speak of a true InchCzech style.Inch Among the earliest composers devoted to the exaltation of the particular pitch of the Czech melody we have Bedrich Smetana a style of descriptive music writing in which he tells stories inspired by national legends, very remote historical events, natural landscapes, folk motifs, and rhythms of village dances. The other distinguished representative of Czech music of the second half of the 19th century is Antonín Dvorák, who enriched his vast musical output with elements drawn from the folk heritage not only of the Czech but also of other Slavic peoples (of Slovakia, Moravia, Ukraine, Russia).

Sara Sant’Ambrogio - Paradise Found   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The distinguished New York-based composer-pianist Bruce Wolosoff synthesizes traditional tonal idioms with lifelong enthusiasms for jazz, blues, and rock music, creating a distinct musical language that speaks to the heart, but is unmistakably contemporary. His soaring, soulful melodies are strikingly suited to the cello, Inchin some ways my favorite instrument,Inch admits Bruce, Inchafter my own of course.Inch For Paradise Found, Bruce reunites with Grammy Award-winning cellist Sara Sant'Ambrogio - the pair previously collaborated on Bruce's Cello Concerto, a Top 10 Billboard Classical chart hit - for the first recordings of his two Cello Sonatas, and two miniatures Circe and The Woods. Paradise Found is indelibly inspired by the splendors of the natural world. The title track - Bruce's first cello sonata - was composed under the shadow of 2020's first COVID lockdown and serves as an affirmation of lasting beauty when the world was plunged into a very dark place. InchIn composing this piece,Inch Wolosoff reveals, InchI wanted to remind myself, and future listeners, that the world is still beautiful.Inch Bruce's second cello sonata, InchRequiem for the Planet,Inch is a musical response to climate change. With movements titled 'Song of the Earth, Requiem Aeternum, The Great Waters' and 'Epilogue I have loved this world so dearly,' the work is a sort of musical requiem in sonata form. But it is not without hope. Bruce acknowledges, InchIt is my most fervent wish that this beautiful, ephemeral world will endure throughout my children's lifetimes.Inch The album concludes with two InchencoresInch - Circe inspired by the sorceress in Homer's The Odyssey, and The Woods, after a drawing by Bruce's friend April Gornik, whose beautiful paintings adorn the album's booklet.
