Kapralova-A Hidden Gem

Gen Thiers | chicago, il | 06/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I find this CD to be a wonderful representation of the first Czech woman composer and conductor-Vitezslava Kapralova. These songs are gorgeous. Swooping melodies, glissandos in the piano, simple melodies in the soprano, and all tied together by a strong Czech sound and sensibility. Favorites on the CD are Koleda, and Dve pisne, two songs.
I would strongly recommend buying this cd for listening on a rainy afternoon. Music students, especially younger singers, are also encouraged to study these songs, as they would make a wonderful addition to a recital. I am an operatic performer, and I am working on incorporating them into future programs."
