Supraphon CDs, DVDs | 1 to 7 of 7 results

Originally founded in 1932, Supraphon became prominent in the post-war years, playing a significant role in helping to spread the fame of Czech classical music. This gave rise to a broad catalogue of titles which systematically mapped out the works of Smetana, Dvořák, Janáček, Martinů and Zelenka, as well as other figures in both the Czech and the international music worlds. Significant domestic and foreign soloists, chamber ensembles, orchestras and conductors all contributed to its collection of recordings.

The Supraphon archives contain the recordings of Czech Philharmonic under the baton of Václav Talich, Karel Ančerl, Karel Šejna, Václav Neumann and others, as well as recordings of Saša Večtomov and such non-Czechoslovak artists as Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Mstislav Rostropovich, Ida Haendel, Henryk Szeryng and André Gertler. Many of these recordings have now been reissued onto CD.

The label has also successfully collaborated with contemporary artists, including the making of several award-winning recordings with the Pavel Haas Quartet. Other artists who have worked with Supraphon in recent years include conductors Jiří Bělohlávek and the late Sir Charles Mackerras.
