BONIFANTES Boys' and Men's Choir
Choirmaster JAN MÍŠEK
The Czech composer Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859-1951) earned a wide attention thanks to his production of choral works. In Hamburg in the years 1894-7 he wrote his most famous choral cycle – Nine Male Choruses, Op. 37 - which is followed on this CD with several varied choral collections – serious In Sunlight and in Shadow, emotional For My Dear Mother, pious Four Marian Male Choruses and humorous Choral Songs and The Fourth Bunch of Male Choral Songs. Here you will also find a plea to Bohemia´s patron saint, Saint Wenceslas.
The Bonifantes Boys´ and Men´s Choir, formed in 1999, toured already in many states of Europe and the USA and won a lot of medals together with its founder and choirmaster Jan Míšek who, after realizing the Dvořák 12 male chorus recording premieres for his anniversary in 2004, prepared for the Foerster anniversary CD 24 other ones.
