Camerata Zurich

On An Overgrown Path, Leos Janaceks 15 pieces-spanning piano cycle, is here presented in a reshaped guise, arranged for string orchestra and interpreted by the Camerata Zurich under lead violinist Igor Karskos direction. This is the premiere recording of the orchestral adaption.

In this programme, Janaceks cycle is bookended by Josef Suks Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale St. Wenceslas and Antonín Dvoraks Notturno pieces that are thematically connected to the folkloric elements found in Janaceks composition.
