Description:

Canadian pianist Francine Kay, acclaimed for her "extraordinary chromaticism" (Montreal Gazette) and "brilliant and poetic" (Toronto Star), presents a collection of piano works that convey the mature culture of the Czech Republic around 1900. The collection includes Dvořák's "Humoresques (VII)" and Janácek's relatively well-known sonatas, as well as a wide range of less well-known works. The works have unique melodies, harmonies that stimulate the listener's senses, and attractive dance rhythms, and are performed with a rich sensitivity to a wide range of musical ideas. Naxos Japan
