Marek Kozák, Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra - Kovařovic, Bořkovec, Kaprálová: Forgotten Czech Piano Concertos (2024) [24/48]

It would very much seem that the 19th- and 20th-century Czech piano concerto repertoire begins and ends with Dvořák and Martinů. The present recording, however, serves to prove that this is far from being the case. It contains three piano concertos that have been – undeservedly – overlooked. 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.
