Phillip Sear plays an expressive evocation of sadness from an 1888 set of four pieces by the Czech composer and conductor Eduard Nápravník (1839-1916). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The centenary of the death of the Czech composer Eduard Francevič Nápravník (1839-1916) was neglected, at least here in the UK, so I hope this belated upload makes some small amends. He was born in Bohemia, and had an early career as an organist in Prague. However, in 1861 he moved to Russia, where he became court conductor to Prince Yusupov in St. Petersburg. From 1863 he was an organist and conductor at the Imperial theatres there. He conducted the Russian premiere of Tchaikovsky's piano concerto #1. He wrote four operas, orchestral and chamber music.
