This CD marks the first commercial release of recordings by the great Czech guitarist, Petra Polackova. Producer David Starobin writes: "A few years ago I came upon some stunning video of the guitarist Petra Polackova. Since then I've avidly followed her work, and have marveled at her passionate performances of repertoire spanning the centuries. What a pleasure it was to finally meet in 2024 for these recording sessions in New York City. Petra is a musician after my own heart - a deep player, who seduces the listener into the dreamworld of that consummate Romantic, J. K. Mertz. Hearing Mertz's music as he performed it, on a "Romantic Guitar" with added basses, gives these small gems nearly symphonic range, without sacrificing their exquisite intimacy."
