Miloslav Kabelác (1908–1979) is a Surprised-by-Beauty composer of the first water whose eight symphonies and grand orchestral Passacaglia Mystery of Time absolutely merit being brought nearer to the repertoire after having spent decades out in the cold. Anyone who has explored these will unlikely be able to resist this offering of his collected chamber music that ranges through all five decades of his composing career, from conventional to experimental forms, from the early Horn- or Cello Sonatas via his Suite for Saxophone to his dramatic chamber cantata Osudová dramata cloveka. It's hardly surprising that we find Kabelácenthusiasts like Albrecht Mayer, Sarah Willis, and Jan Vogler among the performers on this 3CD-Set.

Recording of the Month
“…This is an important set. All pieces have been meticulously prepared, and are played with commitment. The recording is very fine. Elisabeth Hahn wrote excellent, useful notes.

This important composer had much to say, and said it without any compromise…”
