Forgotten Czech Piano Concertos by Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra nominated for this year’s Anděl Awards
The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra has received three nominations for this year’s Anděl Awards, due to be handed out in April. Today’s edition of Sunday Music Show will profile one of the CDs, nominated in the Classical Music category. Called Forgotten Czech Piano Concertos, it contains works by 19th and 20th-century composers who have not achieved the same level of recognition as Dvořák or Martinů.
The album Forgotten Czech Piano Concertos is a result of many years of research and exploration by composer and organist Marek Kozák, who is interested in lesser-known Czech piano pieces. The pieces included on the CD were written by Karel Kovařovic, Vítězslava Kaprálová and Pavel Bořkovec. The pianist has recorded them with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Robert Jindra.
