Notes & Reviews:

Radoslav Kvapil, acknowledged expert on Czech piano music, is also accompanied here by two members of the famous Talich Quartet in the complete works for both cello & piano and violin & piano. He also features uniquely the 'alternative supplement' version of "In the Mist".

"Despite the abundance of music that [Janacek] left behind, much of it does not receive the level of performance and celebration it should. Fortunately, there are performers like pianist Radoslav Kvapil that have devoted a sizable portion of their career to the study and performance of Janacek and other Czech composersHis playing features the utmost in control and precision without seeming overly technical. His rhythms are sharp and clean, his voicing nuanced, and rubato engagingViolinist and cellist Petr Messieurer and Evzen Rattay, respectively, share Kvapil's penchant for detail, nuance, and subtlety in playing. Like Kvapil, neither of the string players is afforded an especially luxurious sound quality, but the quality of playing more than makes up for it." - All Music Guide
