The viola's dark, velvety sound and its depth of expression enchanted many composers of the twentieth century (Bartok, Martinu, Hindemith, Clarke etc.) who made major contributions to the instrument's repertoire. Jitka Hosprova, however, likes to stay off the beaten path. For her recording with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, she has chosen three modern works composed in her homeland over a span of 30 years at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Oldrich Flosman completed Visions of Michelangelo, a work that is now nearly forgotten, in 1975 on commission for celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Michelangelo's birth. Jindrich Feld's Viola Concerto, one of his last works, bears comparison with Bartok's and even exceeds it in terms of technical difficulty; the demands made on the soloist are quite extreme. Sylvie Bodorova's Planctus (the title refers to a Medieval form, the "laments of the Virgin Mary") reflects the gloom, stress, and hopelessness of life in communist Czechoslovakia of the 1980s. In all three movements, the deep intimacy of the viola stands in contrast to the massive symphonic sound of the orchestra. More than any other instrument, the viola has a tone that reaches the innermost world of the composer and of the subject matter. On this revelatory, technically virtuosic recording of rarely played works, Jitka Hosprova brings back to life three works that definitely deserve the attention of performers and listeners.
