The very first recording the ensemble made for Supraphon, the LP Drevo se hudbou odívá (Wood Attired in Music), released back in 1979, features several forcible folk texts (Vandrovali hudci, Horelo srdécko, etc.), to which the artistic director, Jaroslav Krcek, composed music with such sensitivity that many a listener still considers it folk tunes. The next Musica Bohemica album, Ceské a moravské lidové balady (Czech and Moravian Folk Ballads), includes traditional melodies in Krcek's arrangements, imbued with his singular signature and colourful instrumentation. Jaroslav Krcek also proved to be sure-footed when selecting the soloists; one would be hard pressed indeed to imagine better delivery. The anniversary album features pieces selected from the two early recordings, with some of them being released on CD for the very first time. The songs that have enchanted generations of Musica Bohemica listeners now come across in their full beauty. Musica Bohemica's anniversary commemorated with early recordings - a spell that does not wear off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Wandering Fiddlers \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Make Ready, Maid, Make Ready \u003cbr\u003e1.3 A Heart on Fire \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Frolicking Little Angel \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Conjuring My Beloved \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Dance in C \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Knights They Crossed the River Stream (A Sister Lost and Found) \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Down in the Valley \u003cbr\u003e1.9 One Mother Her Daughter Married Off \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Bells Are Chiming for the Mass \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Young Matthew His Sweetheart Slew \u003cbr\u003e1.12 The Shepherd He Was His Flock Herding \u003cbr\u003e1.13 The Wedding Feast It Was So Long \u003cbr\u003e1.14 The Gnats' Wedding\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Musica Bohemica \/ Markova \/ Vraspir \/ Chlomkova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39348651262023,"sku":"28953302","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2985238.jpg?v=1747768023","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/musica-bohemica-markova-vraspir-chlomkova-ballads-legends","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
