ArcoDiva presents this new unique album of Dvořák's unreleased pieces. Despite the fact that at the moment there are many recordings of piano works by Antonín Dvořák, for whatever reason some compositions have never been included on these releases. We are now gladly presenting you those pieces for the first time on a publicly released album. All of the compositions are played by Tomáš Víšek.

Víšek is one of the most significant Czech pianists of his generation. Born in 1957, he studied at the Prague Conservatory (prof. V. Kameníková, Z. Kožina) and the Prague Academy of Arts (AMU) – first under prof. J. Páleníček and then under prof. Z. Jílek with whom he continued post-graduate studies in 1990–1993. In 2017, he obtained the Ph.D. title at the Pedagogical Faculty of the Charles University in Prague (his dissertation was titled “Attraction and Problems of the Antonín Dvořák ́s Piano Works”).
