Kaprálová was an extraordinary presence in Czech music between the wars. At a time when very few women were able to build careers as composers, and even fewer stepped onto the podium as conductors, she did both. She died at just 25, but in that short time she produced a body of work that still speaks to audiences today. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/fd7e244dba602b98dfadfe88d535d9fb.jpg?timestamp=1771494471 Timothy Cheek on Vítězslava Kaprálová: “I believe she would have been a major figure of the 20th century” https://english.radio.cz/timothy-cheek-vitezslava-kapralova-i-believe-she-would-have-been-a-major-figure-8878140 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
