(道路)小提琴及大提琴二重奏 - 捷克作曲家 舒霍夫/楊納傑克 /馬替努/吉迪昂.克萊因
史帕契克 小提琴 托馬斯.亞姆尼克 大提琴 Josef Spacek - violin, Tomas Jamnik - cello Paths - crossing and diverging, those we choose ourselves and those that are predestined and inevitable: through this prism the violinist Josef Spacek and the cellist Tomas Jamnik view the music of four Czech composers written within a mere 35 years of the 20th century. Janacek, enraptured by the idea Pan-Slavism, was led by desire to Russia, a country where he found inspiration for his string quartet (here in an ambitious arrangement for two instruments), in a novella by Tolstoy. Ervin Schulhoff, an admirer and friend of Janacek's (to whom he dedicated the duo featured on the present album), invested his hopes in Soviet Russia, yet this did not save him from death in a Nazi concentration camp. A similar fate (incarceration in Theresienstadt and Furstengrube) befell Gideon Klein, another gifted and promising composer, who was murdered by the Nazis at the age of 25. Just two incomplete movements of his remarkable Duo for Violin and Cello have survived. The paths pursued by Bohuslav Martinu- first driven by thirst for knowledge and then forced to flee the Nazis - led from Prague through Paris to the USA, before returning to Europe; yet circumstances did not allow him to see his beloved country again. Martinuwrote his Duo for Violin and Cello No. 2 towards the very end of his life - and it also concludes the album by two brilliant artists. A virtuoso, profound and forcible recording indeed.
