  • Czech Philharmonic
    Biography Czech Philharmonic “The Czech Philharmonic is among the very few orchestras that have managed to preserve a unique identity. In a music world that is increasingly globalized and uniform, the Orchestra’s noble tradition has retained authenticity of expression and sound, making it one of the world's artistic treasures. When the orchestra and Czech government asked me to succeed beloved Jiří Bělohlávek, I felt deeply honoured by the trust they were ready to place in me. There is no greater privilege for an artist than to become part of and lead an institution that shares the same values, the same commitment and the same devotion to the art of music.” Semyon Bychkov, Chief Conductor & Music Director The 125 year-old Czech Philharmonic gave its first concert – an all Dvořák programme which included the world première of his Biblical Songs, Nos. 1-5 conducted by the composer himself - in the famed Rudolfinum Hall on 4 January 1896. Acknowledged for its definitive interpretations of Czech composers, whose music the Czech Philharmonic has championed since its formation, the Orchestra is also recognised for the special relationship it has to the music of Brahms and Tchaikovsky - friends of Dvořák - and to Mahler, who gave the world première of his Symphony No. 7 with the Orchestra in 1908. The Czech Philharmonic’s extraordinary and proud history reflects both its location at the very heart of Europe and the Czech Republic’s turbulent political history, for which Smetana’s Má vlast (My Homeland) has become a potent symbol. The Orchestra gave its first full rendition of Má vlast in a brewery in Smíchov in 1901; in 1925 under Chief Conductor Václav Talich, Má vlast was the Orchestra’s first live broadcast and, five years later, the first work that the Orchestra committed to disc.

  • Czech Philharmonic Semyon Bychkov, Chief Conductor and Music Director
    Czech Philharmonic Semyon Bychkov, Chief Conductor and Music Director Kateřina Javůrková announced as first winner of the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize French horn player Kateřina Javůrková was announced as the first winner of the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize in Prague last week. Presented by the Czech Philharmonic in memory of the late Jiří Bělohlávek, the Orchestra's Chief Conductor and Music Director from 2012-2017, the new prize will be awarded annually to musicians up to the age of 30. This year’s prize was presented to Kateřina Javůrková by Jiří Bělohlávek’s widow Anna Fejérová at the Czech Philharmonic’s annual open-air concert at Prague’s Hradčany Square broadcast live on Czech Television. In addition to the financial award of 30,000 Czech Korunas, Kateřina Javůrková also received a diploma designed by Bělohlávek’s close friend, painter Jiří Voves. Kateřina was chosen by a committee consisting of representatives of the Czech institutions with whom Jiří Bělohlávek had a close relationship in his later years. In addition to the Czech Philharmonic, these include the Prague Philharmonia, Prague Spring International Music Festival and Prague’s Academy of Performing Arts. Also on the committee are Anna Fejérová and the Chief Editor of the classical music magazine Harmonie. Kateřina Javůrková is a graduate of both the Prague Conservatoire and Academy of Performing Arts. In addition to her contribution to promoting Czech chamber music abroad with groups such as the Baborák Ensemble and the Belfiato Quintet, with whom she has been playing for twelve years, Javůrková also performs as a soloist and won the top prizes at the 2013 Prague Spring International Music Competition and 2016 International ARD Music Competition in Munich.

  • Choral Secular Music Through the Ages
    Choral Secular Music through the ages The Naxos catalogue for secular choral music is such a rich collection of treasures, it almost defi es description. All periods are represented, from Adam de la Halle’s medieval romp Le Jeu de Robin et Marion, the earliest known opera, to the extraordinary fusion of ethnic and avant-garde styles in Leonardo Balada’s María Sabina. Core repertoire includes cantatas by J.S. Bach, Beethoven’s glorious Symphony No. 9, and a “must have” (Classic FM) version of Carl Orff’s famous Carmina Burana conducted by Marin Alsop. You can explore national styles and traditions from the British clarity of Elgar, Finzi, Britten and Tippett, to the stateside eloquence of Eric Whitacre’s “superb” (Gramophone) choral program, William Bolcom’s ‘Best Classical Album’ Grammy award winning William Blake songs, and Samuel Barber’s much loved choral music. Staggering emotional range extends from the anguish and passion in Gesualdo’s and Monteverdi’s Madrigals, through the stern intensity of Shostakovich’s Execution of Stepan Razin to the riot of color and wit which is Maurice Saylor’s The Hunting of the Snark. Grand narratives such as Handel’s Hercules and Martinů’s Epic of Gilgamesh can be found alongside tender miniatures by Schubert and Webern. The Naxos promise of uncompromising standards of quality at affordable prices is upheld both in performances and recordings. You will fi nd leading soloists and choirs conducted by familiar names such as Antoni Wit, Gerard Schwarz, Leonard Slatkin and Robert Craft. There is also a vast resource of collections available, from Elizabethan, Renaissance and Flemish songs and French chansons to American choral works, music for children, Red Army Choruses, singing nuns, and Broadway favorites – indeed, something for everyone.
