String Quintet E-flat Major - Adolf Míšek
Adolf Míšek (1875 - 1955) is a Czech double-bass player, composer, pedagogue and conductor. He originally drew on the style of A. Dvořák, but he managed to form his own singular mode of expression that is marked for its graceful emotionality typical of Czech national music.
Apart from the String Quintet E-flat Major Míšek wrote a number of compositions, very interesting from an instrumentalist's point of view, in which the double-bass is presented as an independent solo instrument of a wide range of timbres: Polonaise Concertante, Three Sonatas for Double-Bass and Piano, Concerto C major and others. The String Quintet E-flat Major was recorded in 2006 at the Czech Radio studio by the Stamitz Quartet with the double-bass player Radomír Žalud.
