Yes, this is the performance I listened to; a great one indeed. I noted that Jakob Hrůša is programming the work when he comes to conduct the Cleveland Orchestra next month - how exciting! I am seriously tempted to drive up to Cleveland to hear it...

Wow, it would be great to hear Mystery of Time live Kyle.

Do it.  I will never forgive you if you don't.

Looks like an interesting concert with the Shostakovich as well Kyle.

I also note that relm 1's post was No. '666' ( >:D) so you'll clearly have to take his views seriously.

I've posted this before - but here is Hrusa conducting "Mystery of time" in an excellent performance with the Finnish Radio Orchestra.

Hrůša will conduct it again on December 14 at the Philharmonie, Berlin - with the BP, of course. I suppose it will be available in some form on the internet.

Very nice to observe a live performance of that fabulous work.

Interesting that based on the composer's lifespan on the album, these works were all written after his death...truly an example of the mystery of time.

Those happen to be Prokofiev's lifespan dates...

Hopefully, they will fix the dates before the CD is released.  When is it due out?

October!

I once saw a pre-order image of a disc where all the track times said 00:00 ... they definitely fixed that one.  ;D

Fantastic news, Brian!! This magnificent work was crying out for a new commercial recording.

It is really good to see that this new Kabelac cd will soon be available.

But listening to fragments on YT, I notice that Ivanovic seems to take a softer (and slower) approach than Ancerl.

I'll wait for the cd to arrive and compare more carefully later. What may be lost in bite and power may be won in orchestral detail...?

Idem for the Reflections, a work I dearly love - 9 short sketches full of "angst" -, even terror....



Brian

I think there is a YouTube "Mystery of Time" led by Jakub Hrusa that stretches out to 28 minutes. It kind of feeds into my theory/gripe that conductors today in general lead slower interpretations than conductors of 60+ years ago.

I listened to this just now and very much enjoyed it.  Atmospheric and finely crafted music, an excellent release well worth hearing!
