ABOUT THE ALBUM

Despite her tragically early death at the age of 25, Vítezsláva Kaprálová left a portfolio of more than 50 works of the highest craftsmanship and inspiration. This selection of her orchestral music, recorded at the Kaprálová Festival at the University of Michigan in 2015, includes many of the orchestral works that won her international esteem in 1938.

Nick appears on two tracks on the album, in orchestrated versions of two of her songs: Smutny vecer (Sad Evening) and Sbohem a šátecek (Waving Farewell), Op. 14.
