Jan Vogler - The Dvorak Album (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

"The Dvorák Album" highlights Antonín Dvorák's chamber music in its diversity and musical richness. Jan Vogler, cellist and artistic director of the Moritzburg Festival, selected chamber music works from different periods of Dvorák's creation and recorded them with excellent young musicians: American violinist Chad Hoopes, Kevin Zhu, violist Matthew Lipman, pianists Tiffany Poon and Juho Pohjonen. The album includes Dvorák's expressive waltz of the Terzetto Scherzo in C major, opus 74, whose original and unusual formation on this recording has been adapted for piano, cello and violin. The famous Piano Trio n° 4 in E minor op. 90 "Dumky" and the seventh piece of his Humorous piano circle op. 101 are also among the works presented. The program also includes the Piano Quartet n° 2 in E major, Op. 87, rarely performed, which is characterized by unusual sound images, in which the piano blends perfectly with the strings, making it possible to compare it with the mentor and composer whom Dvorák deeply admired, namely Johannes Brahms. Jan Vogler has adapted Dvorak's "Songs my mother taught me" for cello, taken from the Gypsy Songs Op. 55, specially written for the Bohemian tenor Gustav Walter, and whose narration revolves around songs transmitted by mothers to their children for generations.
