Description: Offered for the 40 minutes of otherwise unavailable 20th-century Czech music by Hurnik (17 minutes of brisk and spiky neo-classicism with a tartly lyrical slow movement from 1954) and Pauer (23 minutes of serious, sometimes gray and somber but ultimately positive tonal music from 1978) but connoisseurs of Czech musicians will know Vlach as the founder of the famous Vlach Quartet and as a conductor who studied with Talich and recorded with several different Chech chamber orchestras. 4 CDs. Czech Chamber Orchestra; Josef Vlach. Original 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1975, 1976 and 1978 Supraphon releases and 1983 Panton release (Pauer).
