Kvapil,radoslav - Czech Piano Music Anthology - Music CD

(Dvork) 'he plays the set with great understanding... deft and sensitive' (Fibich): 'full of strong poetic feeling and beauty of melodic line... played with great sensitivity and subtlety... haunting music, fine pianism" (Penguin Guide) (Jancek): 'Kvapil responds most vividly to the shorter pieces on this excellent record... interesting, intelligent and well-executed performances' (Smetana): 'Smetana's originality is better revealed in the shorter pieces... comparisons with Chopin... same ability to take a national dance and turn it into harmonic and rhythmic explorations.'
