	Czech Philharmonic Orchestra (Symphony Orchestra) - Short History
		After the short but artistically-fruitful term of Rafael Kubelík at the head of the CPO from 1942 to 1948 the role of chief conductor was taken over for eighteen years by Karel Ančerl, under whose leadership from 1950 to 1968 the orchestra gained a reputation as a first-class ensemble on the world musical scene.
		The Philharmonic entered its new 2003-04 season with a new chief conductor, Zdeněk Mácal (born 1936), who at the height of his experience in art and in life is coming to head the orchestra with which he launched his spectacular conducting career from 1966 to 1968.
		The CPO's first tour of the USA and Canada was in 1965, on which occasion the triumphal successes of Karel Ančerl assured the orchestra an excellent reputation in the USA which it has maintained to this day in performing Czech music.

	Czech Phil
		The orchestra presently known as the CPCO was founded in 1977 by Pavel Prantl and colleagues from the world-renowned Czech Philharmonic.
		The orchestra has since come to be internationally known and lauded for the characteristic sound of its "Czech Strings" -an expression that applauds the Czech tradition of sensitivity to sonority and unique tone color (something often lost in today's climate of homogenized sound whether it hails from London, Rome or New York).
		A case in point was the opening work, the slow movement from Bach's Third Suite for orchestra, marked Air, commonly referred to as the "Air on a G String." It was far from a casual rendition, and the delicacy of bow strokes and sensitivity of the ensemble were transfixing.

		Kovar also announced at the press conference that he was canceling participation at the prestigious Toshiba festival, which selected the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra from a group of five.

	Berliner Festspiele: Musikfest Berlin, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra - Zdenek Macal
		Long before Leoš Janácek conquered the world’s stages with his operas, Antonín Dvorák had liberated Czech music from the narrow confinement of the Czech national school, an opening that was brought about chiefly by the success of Dvorák’s major works for choir and orchestra.
		Also his interpretation of the traditional liturgical chant of the “Stabat Mater” – a version that shows a more pronounced tendency toward the operatic and symphonic rather than the oratorio – became an immediate international success.
		The piece will be conducted by the chief conductor of the Czech Philharmonics, Zdenek Macal – now returned from a prolonged sojourn in the US – with a cast that promises an outstanding performance.

		Though Czech opera has often had questionable export value due to linguistic barriers, this first truly international recording of Dvorák's most viable opera--inspired by Wagner's love of mythology and Verdi's melodic drama--suggests that non-Czech artists can be more than just credible.
		Noone knows Czech opera better than Mackerras, and he brings his usual incisiveness to this score, finding the edgy string tone required as Rusalka discovers the bitter taste of growing up.
		The title role is a big, big sing and she shirks none of the task, bringing her familiar dynamic range and sensitivity.
