About
As a composer, he was evidently inspired by Vivaldi’s concertos, which he was thoroughly familiar with. Yet Benda’s concertos are singular works in their own right, abounding in invention, naturally flowing and extremely forcible melody.
Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, Ivan Ženaty is a serious candidate among Czech violinists for the title Benda would have been awarded in the 18th century. This is reinforced by his collaboration with superlative orchestras and conductors (Baudo, Gergiev, Bělohlavek, Marriner, etc.).
With Ivan Ženaty and the excellent Prague Philharmonia’s recording, Benda’s virtuoso concertos are resurrected in the 21st century.
