Jan Martinec - Potkal Kohn Rabínoviče

Review by Ambrose Heron

Jan Martinec's album Potkal Kohn Rabínoviče is a beautiful tribute to the Jewish community in his hometown of Prague. The album features 12 tracks, each one inspired by the stories and experiences of the Jewish people who lived in Prague before and during World War II.

Martinec's music is a mix of traditional Jewish melodies, contemporary jazz, and classical music. The result is a unique and captivating sound that is both haunting and beautiful. The album features a variety of instruments, including piano, violin, clarinet, and accordion, all played with great skill and sensitivity.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Terezín," a hauntingly beautiful piece inspired by the concentration camp of the same name. The music captures the sadness and despair of those who were imprisoned there, while also conveying a sense of hope and resilience.

Summary by Ambrose Heron

Jan Martinec's music is both innovative and respectful, and his passion for the subject matter shines through in every note. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Jewish music or the history of Prague.
