Forgotten Czech Piano Concertos

Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra;
Kozák, Marek;
Jindra, Robert

SU 4337-2

Three piano concertos worthy of rediscovery.

Vítězslava Kaprálová wrote the Piano Concerto in D minor, characterised by brilliant instrumentation and an engrossing solo part, at the age of 20 as her graduation work.

Karel Kovařovic’sPiano Concerto in F minor affords the soloists great scope to display their virtuosity.

Pavel Bořkovec, a pupil of J. B. Foerster and Josef Suk, wrote his Piano Concerto No. 2 after World War II.

The main protagonist of the present album, the pianist Marek Kozák, who has garnered accolades at a number of competitions (Zurich, Bolzano, Bremen, Prague, and elsewhere), has a penchant for exploring little-known and forgotten landscapes, as attested to by this revelatory recording.

Works:

• Karel Kovarovic: Piano Concerto in F minor; Op. 6
•Vitezslava Kaprálová: Piano Concerto in D minor; Op. 7
•Pavel Borkovec: Piano Concerto No. 2
