The Czech-born Eduard Nápravník (1839-1916) became one of the pivotal figures in the musical life of nineteenth-century Russia as conductor of the Imperial Mariinsky Opera in St Petersburg, he gave the premieres of some of the most important Russian operas, among them Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, six by Tchaikovsky and nine by Rimsky-Korsakov. But his own music has largely been lost from sight - a fate it emphatically does not deserve, as these three works for violin and piano prove big-hearted and big-boned, replete with passionate Tchaikovskian melody, they reveal a composer ripe for rediscovery.

The 2004 album Riot On An Empty Street showcases Kings of Convenience at their finest, blending folk, pop, and indie influences with their trademark harmonies. Featuring beloved tracks like InchHomesick,Inch InchMisread,Inch and the duet InchKnow-HowInch with Feist. A must-have for those who appreciate subtle, melodic songwriting.
