About

The new recording captures the concert and instrumental compositions of the prominent Czech middle-generation artist Jaroslav Krček. Jaroslav Krcek, born on April 22, 1939, near Ceske Budejovice in southern Bohemia, is a renowned Czech composer strongly influenced by his national folk heritage. He studied composition with Miloslav Kabelac and conducting with Bohumir Liska at the Prague Conservatory of Music. After graduation in 1962, he became a music editor for the recording company Supraphon, and also worked for Plzen Radio and Prague Radio. For over twenty years he has conducted the renowned ensemble Musica Bohemica, which has delighted many audiences at European music festivals. From his intensive study and long- time experience with folk music, Krcek has transformed nearly a thousand simple tunes into masterful arrangements. His catalog also includes three symphonies, a Double Concerto for Oboe, Harp and Orchestra, the opera Raab, the Harlot, which received an international prize in Zurich and many chamber compositions. This release includes his Oboe concerto, Three Dances in Old Style, and The Music to Lusatian Sorb fable “The Secret of the Old Mill.”
