Nejedná se o přechodný stav. Nahrávky nemohou být nadále na webu umístěny z důvodu ochrany autorských práv.

Všiml jsem si, že minulý týden byly zrušeny možnosti přehrát si jednotlivá díla. Je to jen přechodný stav?

I really appreciate this site - lots of detail and really well presented. The statements and 'Did You Know' sections are especially well done. I'm a huge admirer of Dvořák and have visited the museum in Prague. Please keep up this excellent resource!

Čím jsem starší, tím více Dvořákovu hudbu obdivuji. Díky webu jsem si doplnila i zajímavosti z jeho života.

Děkuji za informace na webu. Kdykoliv jedu vlakem ze severu Čech do Prahy, s úctou sleduji v Nelahozevsi pod zámkem rodný dům geniálního Čecha.

Velké díky za báječný web, kterému vůbec nic nechybí!!!Gratuluji.

Many thanks.

The recording of the 9th Symphony by Arpad Joo and the Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra is dated 1994. There is also a recording piano four hands of this symphony (B521) by the Duo Crommelynck on Claves, 1993.

Of course, Simon, no problem.

Dear Admin,
Great site - loads of interesting information.
I was wondering if I might use your programme note for the Hussite overture? This would be for use in a programme for the (amateur) Banbury Symphony Orchestra in the UK for a performance in March 2015. We would, of course, give due credit to you and/or your website.
Regards,
Simon

Dear Geoffrey, thank you for your interest and your information concerning recordings by Kosler and Waldhans. I have just added the recordings to relevant lists.

There are, in fact, three recording of the 8th featuring Zdeněk Košler, one is not recorded in your listing"
Prague Symphony Orchestra, from a live recording in the Albert Hall Nottingham in 1967.
Quotation from International Record Review:
“… transparent textures, rhythms that are always animated as well as clear, an effortless handling of tempo changes and an acute sense of the bucolic character of the music [Dvořák]. Košler’s handling of the contrasting moods and speeds of the first movement is very effective, and the rest of the performance is on a similar level of excellence – the finale is particularly vibrant. The purposeful and direct account of the Strauss is an admirable coupling.”
—Nigel Simeone, International Record Review, June 2012

Dear Sir,
There is a glaring omission from your list of recordings of the 9th.
In 1966 Jiři Waldhans conducted the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The concert was recorded using a unique process which was described by the German Record Critics Association as a 'Sensational sound technique'.
Not only that but reviews of the CD, by internationally recognised critics, rate the recording and performance, in many cases, as the best that exists!!
Please visit the website of the CD publisher, for full details and sound samples of the concert.

Milý Ondřeji, stránky jsou skvělé!!! Děkuju za pomoc a těším se 2. 12. na viděnou. Jarmila

Dobrý den,

Zpěvácký spolek Hlahol, založený v roce 1861, předvedl za dobu svého nepřerušeného působení Dvořákovu Mši D- Dur již mnohokrát. Nyní ji opět předvedeme pod vedením sbormistra a uměleckého vedoucího Romana Z. Nováka 26.10. 2014 v Praze v kostele Sv. Salvátora na Starém Městě za spoluúčinkování zahraničních sborů z Itálie, Německa a Francie.

Just added. According to my knowledge, most of the recordings are without cuts (with the exception of: Talich 1951, Chalabala 1961, Belohlavek 1991, and Valek 2006).

Just noticed another one you could add - Golden Spinning Wheel, Royal Philharmonic / Oskar Danon, first issued on Readers Digest in 1966, recorded in Walthamstow by Decca. Now available as download at: http://klassichaus.us/Klassic-Downloads-2nd-Series.php Good performance though cut like most others I think - lasts just about 20 minutes. I believe the Kertesz is not cut - are there any others?

Thank you, Mark, I have edited the list.

I see on your page for Dvorak Hero's Song you mention the oerformance with Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra / Alois Klima and write 'unpublished'. It was pubished, a very good performance, on LP - see review in Gramophone May 1978, p 1857. Another LP of this work was West Australian Orchestra / Thomas Mayer - see details at http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/18025961?selectedversion=NBD6225115 .

The very first recording of Dvorak's opera Alfred will be made during September by ArcoDiva publisher in cooperation with Czech Radio and Dvorakova Praha (Dvorak's Prague Festival). The CD will be available before Christmas (2014).
