Our Take

Vilem Pribyl and Libuse Marova team up to bring us a delightful selection of Czech compositions on their latest album. Janacek's "The Diary of One Who Disappeared" is a haunting, evocative journey through love and loss, with Pribyl's expressive vocals capturing the raw emotion of the protagonist's struggle. The interplay between Pribyl's voice and Marova's piano accompaniment is simply mesmerising, drawing the listener in from the very first note.

Dvorak's "Biblical Songs" offer a stark contrast to Janacek's work, with Pribyl's powerful voice soaring over Marova's delicate piano playing. The religious themes are brought to life with a level of depth and intensity that is truly awe-inspiring. Each song is a mini masterpiece, showcasing the duo's incredible musical chemistry and technical prowess.

Smetana's "Evening Songs" rounds out the album with a collection of gentle, contemplative pieces that provide a soothing respite from the emotional intensity of the previous tracks. Pribyl's velvety voice shines in these quieter moments, perfectly complemented by Marova's sensitive accompaniment.

Overall, Vilem Pribyl and Libuse Marova have crafted a beautiful, cohesive album that showcases their exceptional talent and deep understanding of Czech music. It's a must-listen for any fan of classical music, or anyone looking for a transcendent musical experience. Grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of this album.
