Trio Kinsky Prague - Czech Chamber Music

Trio Kinsky Prague: Lucie Sedlakova Hulova, violin; Martin Sedlak, cello; Slavka Pechocova, piano

Piano trio n°2 in B flat Major, Op38 / Piano trio n°2 in D minor, Op.27 "Quasi una Ballata" / "A Tale" for cello and piano / Piano Trio in F minor

An original programme of post-Smetana chamber music re-inserting Janacek into the midst of his contemporary competitors who occupied the Czech scène up until the last worldwar. Naturalism (Fibich), spiritual fidelity to the ethic of Dvorak (Foester) and uncompromising patriotism (novak) form a shrp contrast to the storyteller, composer of the "Kreutzer Sonata" Quartet, forgetting the law of counterpoint, as in Pohadka whose centennial we commemorate here.
