Jana Ringwald

Jana Mila crafts songs with powerful lyrics and surprising, catchy melodies—songs she delivers with compelling expression. Americans label her music as Indie Americana Pop. Last year, she took a substantial collection of self-written songs to Nashville and returned with a dream debut and a record deal in hand.

Whereas Vivaldi needs no introduction whatsoever and other names (Caldara, Fasch, Tůma) are familiar to lovers of Baroque music, even specialists have only been getting to know the remarkable oeuvres of Reichenauer and Jiránek over the past few years, owing in large part to Supraphon's Music From Eighteenth-Century Prague series. Prague is that which all these composers had in common; for some of them the city represented a significant part of their career, for others a short episode or merely a way station. The Czech capital was a melting pot in which Dresden, Vienna, Naples and Venice came together and the influences of all the major European musical centres were recast.
