As we set up to record the elegant Polka by one of the greatest Czech composers, Bedřich Smetana, something magical happened. Our pianist Martin Hybler, a truly multi-talented musician, drifted into a daydream. His fingers danced across the keys, but his mind wandered back to the 19th-century, imagining how KP and DC might have looked in Smetana's time.
In his vivid daydream, he saw a grand castle with KP and DC dressed in period attire, their lives intertwined with the music of the era. But the most whimsical part? He envisioned a reed factory right within the castle walls!
Curiosity piqued, we followed his imagination through the recording, eagerly waiting for the moment when DC would craft a reed. And when that moment came, it was nothing short of enchanting.
Watch the video and join us on this whimsical journey. You might find yourself wondering, just as we did, how on earth he managed to play such a reed :-))
