Beschreibung
'He was not the most honest or pious of men, but he was courageous. His name
was Diego Alatriste y Tenorio, and he had fought in the ranks during the
Flemish Wars? Michal Bylina writes: 'With these words starts the first of a
series of novels by Arturo Perez Reverte titled ?Capitán Alatriste?. Its main
character, a Spanish soldier and man of fortune living in the 17th-century
quickly became my main inspiration for writing this Suite. The music
describes best the life of the man and the spirit of that time - the time of
Spain?s greatest flourishes and expansion. It tells a story full of glory,
grief, victories, sorrow, joy and longing ? feelings that accompanied men
like Alatriste constantly. The music was originally written by Gaspar Sanz,
before 1674, and published in ?Instrucción de música sobre la Guitarra
Española?. Having heard these compositions and having read the books I
instantly associated one to another and decided to create a Suite by choosing
my favourite tunes out of it and thus let us, double bassists, experience and
travel in time back to Spanish Baroque.' Classical bassist, early music
bassist, composer and one of the few Viennese bass specialists, Micha? Bylina
received his Bachelor degree at the Academy of Music in Kraków with Dr.
Krzysztof Firlus in 2018, graduating with distinction. Since then he has
studied with Korneel Le Compte at Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels, who
described him as: ?Exceptionally talented, very enthusiastic, with positive
attitude. A model student in all areas.? Micha? was awarded with distinction
during the Bonawentura Nancka Double Bass Competition (2015) and the IX
International Franz Simandl Double Bass Competition (2018). As a composer,
Micha? Bylina writes mostly for the double bass. His most important works
include Preludes and Fugues, Baroque Fantasias and Ricercars all for double
bass solo. His music was recently recognized by Bertram Turetzky, who
commented: ?Thank you for all that music! I'm overwhelmed with the quality of
the music and the extent of your productivity.? Many of his compositions have
been premiered in different countries including USA, Germany, Venezuela,
Italy and Great Britain.
