3 marimba concertos
composed and played by Miroslav Kokoška
Jaroslav Svěcený-violin
Miroslav Laštovka-trompet
Zdeněk Adam-oboe
Czech Chamber Philharmonic
Petr Vronský
His partner was the violonist Jaroslav Svěcený who acquitted himself excellently of this task also in the first, four-movement, and formally concentrated, concerto (15´38). The soloist of the second, three-movement concerto (16´58) is Miroslav Laštovka utilizing his experience from the master interpretation courses of baroque music in the perfect performance of the baroque trumpet part. The silken and heart-felt tone of the oboist Zdeněk Adam completes the overall musical image of the third, formally perhaps a little less concentrated concerto (22´47). It was no other than Adam who initiated the origin of Czech Chamber Philharmonic ten years ago. The orchestra assumed a firm place on the Czech music scene as well as in its international representation. Since recent time it is the matured and internationally experienced conductor Petr Vronský who cooperates with him permanently and who signed the high reproduction level of the recording with marimba concertos.
