Beskiden Nocturno - MVSR1787 | Muziek

Vladimir Studnicka (*1935) graduated from the conducting class of Professor Soupal and the composition class of Prof. Schreiber at the Music Teaching College in Ostrava. He was then headmaster at the People's School of Art, and from 1975 recording director at the Czech Radio in Ostrava. He writes popular music, mostly for band, but also classical music.

The "Beskidy Nocturne" was inspired by the lyrical and peaceful atmosphere prevailing in the mountains at the close of a day. The pastoral character of the composition is enhanced by the solo oboe, with the Wallachian folk rhythms and harmonies placing it georaphically.
