Description:

Viola player Fialová has impeccable technique and passionate emotional expression. On this album, she plays a variety of unaccompanied viola works, conveying the charm of the instrument. The album features Roja's ethnic-tinged "Introduction and Allegro," known for its film music; Godal's "Measurable, O Cross," which opens with a sound that cuts through the air; Penderecki's "Cadenza," with its richly undulating compositions; and two works by Khachaturian and Stravinsky that are both technical and somewhat lyrical, The melancholy melody in "Dza more (Gypsy Ballad)" by the Czech female composer Bodrova, and Penderecki's "Sarabande" placed at the end, are all perfect for savoring the deep sound of the viola.
