- Description: Bohuslav Martinu - a matter of the heart for Vilem VlcekIn 1910, when the director of the Prague Conservatoire expelled Martinu fromthe school because of his Inchincorrigible negligenceInch, he assuredly had no ideathe 20-year-old youth would become one of the most famous composersof the 20th century. Three years later, the young student sold his violin inParis to be able to concentrate fully on composition. About his beginnings,the composer later declared that he was Inchsimply unable to learn thosethingsInch, and instead had to Inchcome up with my own feeling somehowInch. Martinudevoted himself more to the cello than any other composer of his generation,writing both chamber works and concertos. The present recording of hiscomplete works for cello and piano was made at the Musik Akademie Basel,just a few kilometres from Schonenberg, where Martinu spent the last yearsof his life. The works were mostly written for famous cellists who were oftenthe composer's friends (Frank, Cassado, Fournier, Honegger, Piatigorsky, Sádloetc.). He wrote five compositions in a lighter character in Paris between 1929and 1931. The more serious works (three sonatas and two compositions invariation form) were written between 1939 and the end of the composer's life;the Variations on a Slovak Folk Song became his last chamber work, and in itone hears unmistakeably his yearning for the homeland to which he could notreturn. The young Vilem Vlcek has enjoyed success at competitions (victoryat the Penderecki Cello Competition in Krakow, the 2023 MarkneukirchenInternational Instrumental Competition, the 2022 Rahn Musikpreis etc.)and has worked with top orchestras (the Czech Philharmonic, the PragueSymphony Orchestra, the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, the Basel ChamberOrchestra etc.), but above all, what wins over listeners is the expressive depthof his playing, inspired on this recording by the music

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.

Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones.
