In the Dusk - Karel Bendl / instr. Martin Hybler

14. duben 2004

Za šera (In the Dusk) is a cycle of songs for medium voice and chamber orchestra with words written by Vítězslav Hálek. This piece was originally composed for the medium voice and piano. Upon the initiative of Václav Riedlbauch, managing director of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, the piece was performed in its orchestral version during the cycle of chamber orchestras in Rudolfinum and its instrumentation was undertaken by Martin Hybler.

As Martin Hybler says about Karel Bendl: "Frankly speaking, I knew this name only from textbooks in the past. Meeting his music was a pleasant surprise for me. This music is simple, profound, full of beautiful melodic ideas. The vocal line is very well felt and placed, the musical phrases are comprehensible both for the interprets and for the listeners, and the musical expressive intention entirely corresponds to the lyrical character of the poems of Vítězslav Hálek. Bendl's music attracted me mainly by its pro deep wisdom, craft honesty, and musical appeal".
