LADISLAV KUBIK : Sinfoniettas Nos. 1 & 3 - Piano Concerto No. 3

"Born in 1946 in Prague, Ladislav Kubik has been paving his own highly personal path since the 1970s, when he received acclaim at the International Rostrum of Composers in Paris. Kubik both draws influence from the Western European avant-garde as well as his own Slavic heritage."
