Scottish music composer Geraldine Mucha (1917-2012) is the daughter-in-law of a prominent Czech artist Alfons Mucha, one of the greatest figures in the European Art Nouveau movement. Her life was spent as the wife of writer Jiri Mucha in Prague, where she met a number of prominent Czech and world artists. Unfortunately, her work is not very well known throughout the world. This production brings completely new and unique recordings of both her orchestral and chamber compositions. Some of her finest work is included on this album, such as the Macbeth Suite, Songs of John Webster, and her Piano Concerto, performed by the eminent Hradec Kralove Philharmonic Orchestra.
Ivana Troupová, soprano (7-9)
Patricia Goodson, piano (10-13)
Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra (1-12)
Andreas Sebastian-Weiser conductor (1-12)
