For the seventh consecutive year, the Gramophone Classical Music Awards will be naming an Orchestra of the Year in 2024, the only one of its prestigious awards decided by the public. We are proud to announce that following our release of Má Vlast and Czech Songs, the Czech Philharmonic is one of those nominated ensembles!
That the Czech Philharmonic should have brought such rich sensitivity to Magdalena Kožená’s recital of Czech songs (07/24), or together with Semyon Bychkov offered an account of Smetana’s Má vlast so powerfully resonant in understanding and affection (04/24), comes as no surprise. But add in a revelatory Mahler Symphony No 1 (11/23), or even the recent album of contemporary works from the orchestra’s Wind Ensemble, ‘Chromosphere’ (2/24), and you find yourself in the company of a thoroughbred orchestra of immaculate virtuosity.
