The program of this debut CD is based on contemporary works, which has been the focus of the duo from its inception. This is related to the intensive cooperation with composers that gives the duo a chance to influence the creation of the works, making them almost “custom-tailored.” This cooperation is documented on this album by a number of Czech compositions written for, and dedicated to, the ensemble. The CD also includes two pieces from the international repertoire. The first is rarely staged due to its complexity. By contrast, the second is one of the most staged worldwide, but the duo plays it in its own unique version.
… LET by the OK Percussion Duo of Martin Oprsal and Martin Kleibl is an excellent CD. The performances on the CD are expressive and engaging. Congratulations on a fine recording!
