The cimbalom is a hammered dulcimer, invented in 1874, and once very popular in Eastern Europe. Its use in classical music is rather extensive, it having been used in scores by composers such as Kodaly, Stravinsky, Liszt, Bartók, Boulez and Dutilleux. For concertos we have to go to less famous names though. I have gone for the Concerto Rustico by Czech composer Jiří Teml. It is played by Jan Mikušek with the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra under Koji Kawamoto on Český Rozhlas.
