About

This CD includes four Concertos for harpsichord written by Joseph Anton Steffan who was one of the prominent composers of Czech origin who lived in Vienna in 18th century. He was born in the small Bohemian village of Kopidlno. Thanks to his talent he made a name for himself. In his best works he touched on the new horizon of Romanticism. His compositions became one of the substantial sources of Mozart’s inspiration. His works are associated primarily to keyboard instruments – beside other compositions he wrote more than 40 keyboard concertos. Although he has been almost forgotten in music history, he was favourite composer amongst the noble families and rich burghers.

Edita Keglerová graduated from Academy of Performing Arts in Prague under Prof. G. Lukšaité Mrázková. Then she pursued her studies in the master class of J. Ogg at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague and then at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She is a laureate of several international music competitions. She performed in many important concert halls. She founded with flautist Julie Braná the Ensemble Accento.
