About
Are 'hits' exclusively associated with modern pop music?
Popular successes have roots much deeper in the history of music, spanning various genres and contexts, including music created and shared in private settings, such as homes, as well as in street performances. Certain compositions' extraordinary popularity is attested by widely distributed, copied, and repeatedly republished scores. The innumerable arrangements for other instruments also attest to the extent of the phenomenon. Following the success of their 2002 album Dvorak (LDV101), and once again in association with the Czech instrumental arranger Jiri Kabat, the Talich Quartet invites us to explore Mitteleuropa's folk repertoire.
An invitation to dance. Irresistible!

December 2025
The players of the Talich Quartet clearly revel in this repertoire and are equally at home in the soulful numbers as in the sheer fun of the more excitable items such as Georges Boulanger's Sérénade Tzigane and Ivan Vasiliev's wellknown Deux Guitares.

The Dvořák transcriptions are just the starting point for an extended folk-inspired ramble through Moravia, Transylvania and Wallachia. The Talichs bring the same bright-eyed polish and alertness to the Janačék transcriptions and the 'Ballade folklorique'...This is a delightful disc, but we're definitely in the concert hall rather than the forest.
