Přední a oceňovaný český violoncellista Jiří Bárta přináší na svém novém albu komplet Bachových cellových suit. Jiří Bárta se vrací k k repertoáru, který nahrál již před 23 lety, obohacen o mnoho životních i interpretačních zkušeností, a to ve zcela novém pojetí - pro nahrávku tentokrát použil barokní violoncello se střevovými strunami, čímž celkové vyznění skladby přiblížil její pravděpodobné originální podobě - namísto expresivity přichází spíše meditace a zklidnění. Bárta ke kompletu přistupuje jako k šestivěté symfonii ("Vzpomínám na chvíli, kdy jsem před lety hrál komplet poprvé. Bylo to jako zjevení: jednotlivé suity se mi zpodobnily v dokonalém tvaru jako symfonie o šesti větách, jako příběh života o šesti kapitolách; naprosto logická a prokomponovaná skladba.") a nácviku nového provedení a přípravě studiové nahrávky věnoval mnoho času a interpretační i zvukové péče. Nahrávka aspiruje na vážno-hudební událost sezóny. Tracklist: CD 1 Johann Sebastian Bach – Suita pro violoncello č. 1 G dur BWV 1007 1. Suita pro violoncello č. 1 G dur : I. Prélude 03:31 2.

How did John F. Kennedy put a man on the moon in just under ten years?What can chess teach us about actionable insights?And why should you shake up a business at a time of great success?All of these questions have their answer in strategic thinking. But what is strategic thinking exactly? Are we born with it, or can we nurture it?As a distinct and important capability in leaders, strategic thinking is a remarkably poorly defined, little understood concept, confined to management courses and board meetings. But in The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking, world-renowned expert Michael Watkins shows leaders how they can benefit from it, as long as they have the tools to nurture it.Exploring the six specific mental disciplines that together constitute strategic thinking, each chapter shows how they can create value, and offers prescriptions on how to develop the strategic thinking mindset ourselves. Academically grounded but jargon-free, with real-world examples from all sectors and ages, The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking assesses our innate ability to think strategically, and helps us to cultivate it, leading to better decisions that get proven results.

Kissinger's six leaders are Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher. All of them were formed in a period when established institutions collapsed all over Europe, colonial structures gave way to independent states in Asia and Africa, and a new international order had to be created from the vestiges of the old. Kissinger penetratingly analyses each of these leaders' careers through the highly individual strategies of statecraft which he presents them as embodying, to show how it is the combination of character and circumstance which creates history. Kissinger's public experience, personal knowledge and historical perceptions enrich the book with insights and judgements such as only he could make.
