The Jistebnice Kancionál in Prague National Museum The Jistebnice kancionál is not well-known. It is a Czech hand-written hymnbook from around 1430 and the earliest witness to a concentrated effort to translate the liturgy of the Western Church into the vernacular. The Tiburtina Ensemble, artistic director Barbora Kabátková, has recently been exploring the music in the Jistebnice kancionál and talks about their discovery of the music and its challenges.

Thankful to be able to play together at all: the Engegård Quartet on recording Mozart, collaborating with Ola Kvernberg and their festival devoted to Olli Mustonen's music
[…] recorded an arrangement of Mustonen's Violin Sonata with Arvid Engegård leading. Each year, the Engegård Quartet holds a festival in Oslo, På 123, devoted to a particular composer, and this year that composer is Olli Mustonen. This is something of a break with previous festivals, which have been devoted to older establish composers, Schumann, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms. The festival will be taking place in Oslo from 4-6 September 2020 at Nynorskens Hus, thanks to relaxation of lockdown rules in the country to permit small-scale gatherings. The quartet will be joined Mustonen himself on piano and other friends, though lockdown has caused changes and originally Steven Isserlis was due play Mustonen's Cello Sonata at the festival, but he is unfortunately unable to travel and so the sonata will be played by Swedish cellist Torleif Thedéen, with Mustonen on piano. Over the course of three days there will […]
