"It is good to see pianists of the stature of Giorgio Koukl putting out to largely uncharted waters ... the results in this first account of Kaprálová’s complete piano music are stirringly impressive ..."
- MusicWeb International
Despite her tragically brief life, Vítězslava Kaprálová is now considered the most important female Czech composer of the 20th century, her prolific output abundant with fresh and bold ideas, passion, tenderness and youthful energy. This extensive collection from Czech pianist and harpsichordist Giorgio Koukl represents some of the very best of her music, including such early gems as the April Preludes, the exquisite and sophisticated Variations, the remarkable Sonata appassionata and her final Dance for piano, reconstructed by Koukl from its only surviving sketch and one of three world premieres on the album.
