About this product
The one-eyed and three-fingered Cyclops Polyphemos from the ancient Greek myths has become a central figure in many mythical stories and their settings by Baroque composers. One of the best-known stories about this son of Poseidon and giant of insurmountable strength is about the duel with Odysseus on his return home, another about Theseos, who kills Polyphemos. The Italian bass Luigi de Donato's voice and charisma make him the ideal embodiment of Polyphemus. Together with the Collegium 1704 under the direction of Vaclav Luks, he presents a programme that breathes new life into the traditional Greek legends.

Bedrich Smetana's cycle InchMá vlastInch (InchMy CountryInch) is not only the culmination of his symphonic output, it also occupies a unique position in Czech music and conveys a very special message of national character for Czech society. 'Sublime', one reviewer called the remarkable live performance of Smetana's Ma Vlast by an extended Collegium 1704 during the Prague Spring Festival of 2021. The Czech ensemble played on period instruments and thanks to the Czech conductor Václav Luks, Smetana's masterpiece is a Inchsource of innovation, a living history that took listeners on a journey of pride and inspiration.Inch The album can only be described in one way a must for every music lover.

Possibly one of the back rows would have to assess the significance of Georg Druschetzky (1745-1819) only on the basis of it's popular timpani concerto, so it would concede. As a composer of wind music Druschetzky has, however, among his contemporaries almost unique importance. His extensive, almost all musical genres comprehensive oeuvre that counts 150 works for a variety of wind instruments. These have a variety and ingenuity that ever surpass itself so creative minds of music harmony as Franz Joseph Krommer or Triebensee in the best pieces. The Amphion Wind Octet here gives us an overview of the Bläsermusik Druschetzky's that can include even with even voices. The whole is so successful that we do not know which to admire more, the high art of wind ensembles or the ingenuity Druschetzky's. Undoubtedly one of the most accomplished harmony music albums of the last time!
