Renata Pokupi膰 (mezzo-soprano)
Nash Ensemble

Music from the Czech lands, which were once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, are performed by the Nash Ensemble with Croatian mezzo-soprano Renata Pokupi膰. Jan谩膷ek's wind sextet 'Ml谩d铆' looks back to his youth as a choirboy; Ryb谩r (The fisher boy) by Smetana was composed as a 'tableau vivant' in 1869, a recitation of Goethe's poem 'Der Fischer', originally with a dramatic backdrop; Dvo艡谩k composed his Love Songs in 1888, a revised version of his youthful song cycle 'Cypresses'; and his Piano Quintet No.2 was inspired by Czech folk music.
