Miloslav Kabeláč (1908-1979) is a prime example of composers who rightly need to be rediscovered and re-established, who also composed music in the 20th century that is not ashamed to be described as “beautiful”. It is therefore not surprising that musicians such as Albrecht Mayer, Sarah Willis and Jan Vogler are among the Kabeláč enthusiasts represented on this recording. Anyone who has already encountered his (eight!) symphonies or the orchestral passacaglia Mystery of Time will almost inevitably also be interested in his chamber music, which spans five decades and all of Kabeláč’s styles, from conventional to dramatically extroverted.
