Pecková Dagmar, Král Darek: The Magical Gallery - CD (SU6569-2)

Hudební CD - Mimořádný umělecký projekt spojující světy tónů a barev. Album The Magical Gallery přináší skladby inspirované mistrovskými díly světového malířství. Mimořádný umělecký projekt spojující světy tónů a barev Nápad na album The Magical Gallery, obsahující skladby inspirované mistrovskými díly světového malířství, nosil skladatel a producent Darek Král v hlavě spoustu let. Postrádal však to hlavní - hlas, který by dokázal v nahrávce vykreslit vše potřebné. I přes zdánlivou protichůdnost mu přišla nejvhodnější a nejpřirozenější kombinace operního hlasu a elektronické hudby. Dagmar Pecková byla celému projektu velmi nakloněná. Lákavá pro ni byla i myšlenka, že bude mít v repertoáru původní hudbu, skladby napsané výhradně pro ni. K projektu byly přizvány i další osobnosti ze světa klasické hudby: harfistka Jana Boušková, violoncellistka Zuzana Dostálová, Epoque Quartet a tenor Richard Samek. Ve výběru obrazů se autor zaměřil na přelom 19. a 20. století...

Pecková Dagmar, Epoque Orchestra, Kučera Jan: Písně Kurta Weilla - CD (SU4226-2)

Hudební CD - Kurt Weill podle Dagmar Peckové. Písně, které jdou až na dřeň! „K opeře nemůžeme přistupovat z pozice snobského odmítání. Nemůžeme psát opery, a zároveň bědovat nad nedostatky žánru. Musíme tím, co jeviště nabízí, naplnit vlastní ideál,” napsal Kurt Weill roku 1926. To byl teprve začátek Weillova hledání nového hudebního žánru, který by nahradil klasickou operu. Úspěch Třígrošové opery mu dal zapravdu, prosazení nového žánru přišlo v pravou chvíli a zdá se, že i publikum na oživení opery přímo čekalo. Ona dobrodružná cesta, na kterou Weill dostal přesně 50 let, vedla z Německa přes Paříž do New Yorku a přinesla výrazné zjednodušení hudebního jazyka, inspiraci populární hudbou a jazzem a přenesení pěveckých úkolů na herce bez klasického pěveckého školení. Skutečná revoluce. A to je přesně výzva pro mezzosopranistku Dagmar Peckovou. Pěvkyně, která hostovala na světových operních scénách, která je spojována s Mozartem, Mahlerem i Bizetovou Carmen...,...

Pecková Dagmar, Samek Richard, Altrichter Petr: Mahler: Píseň o zemi - CD (SU4242-2)

Hudební CD - Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) - Píseň o zemi (Das Lied von der Erde) v úpravě pro komorní soubor (Arnold Schoenberg, Rainer Riehn) Dagmar Pecková - mezzosoprán, Richard Samek - tenor, Schoenberg Chamber Orchestra, dirigent Petr Altrichter. V kontrastu k Osmé „symfonii tisíců” hovoří další Mahlerovo vokálně-symfonické dílo nečekaně intimním jazykem plným něhy a hlubokého smutku, zrcadlícím samu esenci Mahlerovy duše na sklonku jeho života. Onen smutek, odrážející mj. těžké události ve skladatelově životě a procházející v různých odstínech všemi šesti písněmi, jako by se v konci díla rozplýval ve smířeně opakovaném slově „věčně”, otevírajícím nekonečný prostor po tomto životě. Jméno mezzosopranistky Dagmar Peckové je již od samého počátku její mezinárodní dráhy organicky spjato s Mahlerovým dílem, jak mj. dokládají vysoce ceněné nahrávky s Jiřím Bělohlávkem a jeho PKF. Jejím partnerem na této nahrávce je tenor Richard Samek, jehož hlas znají návštěvníci...

Pecková Dagmar: Hříšnice - CD (SU4181-2)

Hudební CD - Za provokativním názvem nového alba mezzosopranistky Dagmary Peckové se skrývá pozoruhodná dramaturgická myšlenka. Tím, co spojuje život moderního člověka s hrdinkami antické mytologie, je princip hříchu - a odpuštění. Snad všechny zde ztvárněné postavy jsou ženy chytré a mocné, často obdařené nadpřirozenými schopnostmi. Ženy odhodlané použít nejsilnějších prostředků, aby získaly, po čem touží - nebo aby se pomstily. Ženy zrazené lstí či zraněné vlastní láskou. Hned úvodní árie Massenetovy Marie Magdalény otevírá prostor pro poselství - že totiž jedinou cestou z hříchu je odpuštění. „Když se podíváte na postavy v mezzosopránovém oboru, tak téměř každá se dá označit za hříšnici. Snad je to temnější barvou hlasu...”, uvádí k nahrávce Dagmar Pecková. Každá „hříšnice” je v jejím podání psychologicky a emocionálně do hloubky propracovaná. Zdrojem této hloubky a inspirace byla zde vedle vlastní životní zkušenosti sólistky také skvěle doprovázející...

The National Gallery - Jonathan Conlin

Published in the National Gallery’s Bicentenary year, this is the story of how one of the world’s finest collections of paintings was formed by (and for) the people of Britain  For two hundred years the National Gallery has been at the heart of the nation’s life. Established in 1824 and situated in the centre of London with a commitment to free admission, it was conceived as a gallery to be enjoyed by all, while also serving as a place of refuge in times of war and crisis.  The National Gallery: A History tells the story of an institution that holds education, social cohesion, and national heritage at its core, and whose outstanding collection has shaped the art historical canon over two centuries. Special focus on fifteen highlight paintings affords an opportunity to explore changes in taste over the decades, as well as the reactions of visitors to the Gallery’s great works of art.
