“From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields” – this is how we might sum up the shared roots of these four composers. Vaclav Pichl (world premiere recording) and Johann Baptist Vanhal penned their works in an early classical style, while Bohuslav Martinů and Roland Leistner-Meyer, born 1945, deployed the aesthetic means of expression of their own period to enrich the repertoire while still invoking the ideals of the classical era. This programme is the perfect treat for listeners who enjoy discovering new works and expanding their musical horizons!
