(Dvořák) ‘he plays the set with great understanding … deft and sensitive’ (Fibich): ‘full of strong poetic feeling and beauty of melodic line … played with great sensitivity and subtlety … haunting music, fine pianism” (Penguin Guide) (Janáček): ‘Kvapil responds most vividly to the shorter pieces on this excellent record … interesting, intelligent and well-executed performances’ (Smetana): ‘Smetana’s originality is better revealed in the shorter pieces …. comparisons with Chopin….same ability to take a national dance and turn it into harmonic and rhythmic explorations.’ (most: Gramophone)
