Stepanka BalcarovaAbout
Sýkora was Růžička’s student of many years, but also a close friend and an arranger of his compositions. The album comprises Růžička’s famous piece Lovebird, originally composed for a chamber ensemble and jazz quartet, which Sýkora scaled up with woodwinds and timpani. This is followed by Sýkora’s own suite, Hidden Songs, consisting of five movements in contrasting tempos, in which classical music alternates with jazz and improvised passages by the soloists and still manages to evoke various song forms. The album is concluded by arrangements of a selection of compositions from the latest album by Karel Růžička junior, Grace and Gratitude, which are combined into a single whole and culminate in one grand finale.
