Noriko Ogawa and the English Symphony Orchestra showcase music by three celebrated Czech composers, Dvořák, Martinů and Vítězslava Kaprálová, an exceptional musician who died of tuberculosis at 25, before her composing and conducting talent was fully recognised. Her distinctive style, blending impressionism with Czech modernism, can be heard in the Partita for Piano and Strings, written in 1940.
