Discography

Christmas singing, 1996 
This first CD of ReBelcanto (an extended version of the 1995 MC) contains, with one exception, Christmas music arranged exclusively by Miroslav Raichl. His original and inventive approach places it amongst the best Christmas CDs ever issued in Czech Republic. Within its 26 numbers you can find not only Czech and European Christmas songs, but also some more exotic titles. /54 min.

Amours, amours, 1997 
Entitled after one of his most impressive compositions - a madrigal form of a medieval French tune, this album is compiled entirely of Miroslav Raichl's folk-song arrangements. It contains a rich mixture of 27 songs that have been gathered from some 14 European nations. /54 min.

ReBelcanto, 1998 
The third album from ReBelcanto profiles their sacred repertoire. Again, Miroslav Raichl is responsible for most of the arrangements found on this CD, and it includes probably his best-known composition, Milovani bez vidani (Loving without meeting) written on anonymous medieval lyrics. Besides music ranging from baroque to contemporary there are two sacred arias and four Negro spirituals. /48 min.

Spirituály, 2007 
The fourth CD of ReBelcanto contains beside american black spirituals three well-known african sacral songs and also one tribal chant from Taiwan. The majority of compositions are so called author arrangements - arrangements made for the ensemble, using the song itself as an inspiration. The new album brings beside popular arrangements of Miroslav Raichl eight works of his young follower Petr Hostinsky. The album Spirituals gives a picture of the ensemble after seven years of busy concert life together with its new conductor.

Noël Nouvelet, 2011  
The fifth CD “Noël Nouvelet” brings a collection of Christmas carols from all over the world alongside the eleven-movement cycle “A Ceremony of Carols“ by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976).  Following ReBelcanto’s first CD “Christmas singing” from 1996, which preserved the musical arrangements of the group’s founder, Miroslav Raichl; this second Christmas album naturally arose from a desire to preserve a large wealth of new musical material, in particular original arrangements by Petr Hostinský (ReBelcanto’s artistic director since 2000). His new rich arrangements follow in the tradition of those made by the founder of ReBelcanto, Miroslav Raichl.  / 60 min
