Description:

A collection of Eastern European works performed by pianist Martin Kaciuk, born in 1976. The program features the well-known "Allegro Barbaro" by Bartók and "Piano Sonata" by Janácek, as well as works by two contemporary Czech composers, Slavitsky and Fischel. In addition to the lively Bartók and deeply thoughtful Janácek, the program also presents Slavítsky's little-known sonata "Contemplation of Life" and the short but substantial "Sonata No. 8" by Fichel, beautifully presenting the musical tradition in the 20th century Czech Republic through sound.
