Description:
Chamber music occupies an important place in the extensive work of Viktor Kalabis (1923–2006), one of the most important Czech composers of the 20th century. These also include the "Duettini for Violin and Violoncello" op. 67 from 1987. Kalabis wrote them for violinist Jana Vlachová and cellist Mikael Ericsson, who premiered them in Domažlice in 1991.
The "Duettini" consist of four expressively contrasting movements and have remained unpublished until now; the first edition is based on the autograph manuscript kept in the endowment fund of Viktor Kalabis and Zuzana Ružicková.
Gidon Kremer wrote about the virtuoso cycle: "The Duettini of Kalabis were and remain a real discovery for me ... this little work will certainly enrich the repertoire for the duo of violin and violoncello." The renowned violinist played the first recording of the "Duettini" together with cellist Magdalena Ceple on Hyperion Records (CD Kremerata Baltica, Viktor Kalabis: Duettina · Chamber Music · diptych).
