Symphonies Nos. 1 – 9 Complete - Czech Philharmonic Orchestra/ Václav Neumann - The output of nine symphonies by the foremost Czech Neo-Romantic composer Antonin Dvorak has ranked continuously, since its completion to this day, amongst the constituent pillars of the European symphonic repertoire as a whole. This digital recording, made in the 1980’s relies on the century-old authentic interpretive tradition of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra whose early history saw Antonin Dvorak himself at the conductor’s post, followed by such legends of the baton as Vaclav Talich, Karel Ancerl, and in his own time, of course, Vaclav Neumann, a Dvorakian specialist and an artist of inimitable charisma.

Richard Novak; Gariela Benackova; Vera Soukupova; Wieslav Ochman; etc.; Prague Philharmonic Choir/Lubomir Matl; Czech Philharmonic Orchestra; Vaclav Neuamnn, conductor. However uneven the qualities of the operatic legacy of Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904) might appear compared with the rest of his output, at least three of his operas - namely, The Jacobin; Kate and the Devil; and Rusalka - can be safely regarded as works of outstanding vitality, undiminishingly appealing and therefore frequently staged and spontaneously loved by audiences. Rusalka in particular, written in 1900, a lyrical fairy-tale opera set to the finest text ever used by Dvorak (from Jaroslav Kvapil), telling a story filled with compassion, with an unfortunate central female character and an errant principal male hero (Prince), has quite justly won the shared place at the top, with Smetana's The Bartered Bride, as the best-loved and most frequently produced Czech operas, in their home country and internationally alike.

Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G minor, Op. 33
Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra in B minor, Op. 104

Martin Kasik, piano; Jiri Barta, cello
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra/Jiri Kout, Jiri Belohlavek

In this “Year of Czech Music“ it would be difficult to offer music lovers anything more representative than two of the three instrumental concertos of Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904), and it would be difficult to imagine more competent exponents of this music than the Czech Philharmonic and experienced Czech music specialists like Jirí Kout and Jirí Belohlávek. The G minor Piano Concerto presents a tremendous challenge even for world-class pianists; Dvorák didn’t take future performers too much into consideration as he was writing, and although this piece is strikingly beautiful, it is tremendously demanding, and every effective moment onstage must be earned a hundred times over in the practice room… Martín Kasík is a star pianist of the Czech music scene, and you will certainly be interested to hear how he handled the rigors of recording this piece live. This CD include videos for Windows PCs. This next batch of titles coming out in the Ancerl Gold series is certain to bring a genuine delight to the great conductor’s fans. In fact, the new instalment presents tour de force accounts of music encompassing three highly distinctive genres. First, cantata masterworks by leading modern-time composers and Martinu and Vycpálek epitomizing the Czech music scene. Indeed, the cantata genre was a terrain on which Ancerl happened to feel truly at home: he knew how to cope with some of modern music’s peculiar means of expression, and how to make them accessible to the audience; at the same time, he was simply great at work with the human voice and its integration into the large symphonic orchestral apparatus. The two symphonic compositions of Bohuslav Martinu - incidentally, works which Ancerl recorded at a time when the exiled Martinu was rather less than acceptable to his home country’s political powers that be. Finally, the last category of works represented here are instrumental concertos. Ancerl was a very keen accompanist indeed, and an extremely diligent one as well, especially when working in tandem with such soloists as Josef Suk, or another famous "permanent feature" of the whole Ancerl series, the cellist André Navarra. Importantly, with Ancerl orchestral accompaniment is never relegated to the status of passive background; rather, it enhances and complements the soloist’s performance, creatively completing the composition’s overall picture on the planes of technique and style.

Stabat Mater for Solo Voices, Chorus and Orchestra, Op. 58 - Stefania Woytowicz, soprano; Vera Soukupova, contralto; Ivo Zidek, tenor; Kim Borg, bass; Czech Philharmonic Orchestra/Vaclav Smetacek - The fascinating poetic text of the medieval sequence, Stabat Mater, widely attributed to the Italian lawyer and Franciscan monk Jacopo de Benedetti (1230 - 1306), has inspired an endless list of composers to create some of their finest works. For his part, Antonín Dvorák (1841 - 1904), who had lost two children in the late summer of 1877, transformed the immense pain of that tragic experience into his own setting of the famous Latin text, producing one of his best-loved compositions. This stereo recording of Dvorák´s Stabat Mater, with Václav Smetácek conducting the Czech Philharmonic and featuring a major cast of soloists, was last issued at the time of its making (1962) - and yet, its sonic brilliance and artistic accomplishment alike have detracted nothing from its potential as an unfailingly enriching contribution to Supraphon´s collection of recordings of this treasure of Czech sacred music.
