The Czech Philharmonic Cimbalom Ensemble originated from a group of orchestra members who share passion for folk music and occasionally play it to give joy to themselves as well as their friends and supporters. They gradually started to perform in public- at a joint concert with Bobby McFerrin in Rudolfinum, at social events with orchestra attendees, and at other concerts in various places around the country. Their concert programs are unique- they usually combine folk music with classical music in their own arrangements. One of the paths chosen by the ensemble is the exploration of works by famous composers which were inspired by folk music. It comes as no surprise that each of the composers explored on this release has a different approach to folk and national music, and reflects it in their compositions in varying depth. These compositions have become a source of inspiration for many generations of musicians. The Czech Philharmonic Cimbalom Ensemble uses these scores as a launch pad, but strives to approach them with new ideas, invigorating the pieces and working with their own arrangements.
