Description
|
|
|
|
The four composers whose music graces this recording reflect the rich diversity of Czech musical life during the 1930s and early 40s. In their piano sonatas and suites one hears expressionist gestures, tonal lyricism, folk melody, and rhythmic vitality, all interwoven without superficiality or sentimentality. Although each composer speaks with a unique voice, they share common national origins and love of country—and they will always be linked by the shared tragic fate that brought them to the Terezín concentration camp. Of the four composers, only Karel Berman would survive.
