About

In comparison with his symphonies and chamber works, Dvořák’s piano oeuvre has been paid relatively scant attention. The composer was not a virtuoso and, by means of the piano, he frequently gauged the bearing capacity of his musical ideas, instrumenting a number of his originally piano compositions shortly after completing them. Accordingly, his piano pieces lack virtuoso flamboyance and are more than anything else a reflection of his inner life - delicate personal lyricism, the capturing of momentary ideas which are, however, cultivated with the refinement of a musical genius.

This delicacy and inner wealth fully come to the fore at the hands of Radoslav Kvapil, a pianist renowned as an eminent connoisseur and promoter of Czech piano music.
