Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra - Oldřich Flosman
"One of Oldřich Flosman's last pieces is testament to the composer's maturity. It is also evidence of his pure musicianship. Flosman's music never loses its shape and says exactly what we read in the score.
Flosman's polyphonic creations exist to serve expression, and are marked by a clear structure and transparency of composition. Individual movements contrast with one another, with the serious mood of the first movement being replaced by the frolicking serenade of a village band. The orchestral attack of an intermezzo is followed by an almost Baroque recitative. But at the same time his work is all cut from the same cloth. We find a deep feeling for the instrument in solo cadences. And a first glance at the score makes it clear that the artist composed his work with enthusiasm and pleasure. A careful listener will sense the serious undertone of Flosman's awareness of the reality of life."
