Eben´s Labyrinth is the most suggestive swan song which I have heard in the recent years. In my opinion, this composition once again declares that Eben belongs among the most distinguished Czech composers of the last thirty years. However, the qualities of such an exceptional composition might fully excite listeners´ attention, on the assumption that it would be performed by highly experienced and fair-minded artists. Fortunately, Ms. Irena Chřibková, an excellent organist, and Mr. Martin Stropnický, a speaker of suggestive voice and expression, both fully meet the condition. The publishing house Rose released the Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart exactly one year after the death of the composer. Moreover, the organ was recorded at St. James´ Basilica, the place of Petr Eben´s funeral ceremony.
