Geraldine Mucha – Macbeth and Other Orchestral Works (CD)

Scottish composer Geraldine Mucha is the daughter-in-law of the eminent Czech artist Alfons Mucha, one of the greatest figures of European Art Nouveau art. The wife of the writer Jiří Mucha, she lived her life in Prague at Hradčany, where she was in contact with many important Czech and international artists. Her work as a composer is not yet well known and this production brings brand new unique premiere recordings of both her orchestral and chamber works.
