The artists
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra
The name of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra first appeared on a Prague concert programme on January 4, 1896. The concert was conducted by Antonín Dvorák and it was held in the magnificent Rudolfinum hall, the home of the Orchestra to this day. From its very beginnings the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra has been ranked among the premier symphony orchestras of Europe. Throughout its history, the Orchestra has enjoyed collaborations with many world-class guest conductors including Herbert von Karajan, Karl Böhm, Claudio Abbado, Sergiu Celibidache, and Christoph von Dohnányi. The hundreds of soloists who have worked with the orchestra have been of an equally high calibre: they include Pablo Casals, Arturo Benedetti-Michelangeli, Sviatoslav Richter, David Oistrakh and Itzhak Perlman.
