This recording includes works by two leading Czech composers, both of them women. Vitezslava Kapralova (1915-1940) lived in the first half of the twentieth
century, and the career of Sylvie Bodorova (b. 1954) has spanned the final decades of the twentieth century up through the most recent years of the twenty-first. Both composers have excelled in all musical genres, except that Kapralova's shortlife precluded her from exploring the world of opera, her final planned project.
