Magdalena Kožená has just released an album of songs entitled 'Czech Songs' with the Czech Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle. Featuring lesser-known works by composers Martinů and Dvořák, as well as songs by Hans Krása and Gideon Klein – two composers murdered in Auschwitz - this beautiful programme is out now on the Pentatone label. Gramophone Editor Martin Cullingford caught up with Magdalena Kožená to talk about the album for this week's podcast.
