This complete recording of all Dvořák's symphonies and concertos with orchestra is an ambitious project of the Czech Philharmonic and its chief conductor Jiří Bělohlávek, who made the recordings progressively over the course of two concert seasons. This 2014 package, the equivalent of six discs, features soloists including renowned musicians Garrick Ohlsson on piano, cellist Alisa Weilerstein and violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann. It has been more than 30 years since the last complete recording of the composer's symphonies by the Czech Philharmonic, made early in the 1980s under the baton of Vaclav Neumann.
"If I were to sum up my impression from the whole project of recording Dvořák's symphonies and concertos, I am happy to say these one and a half years of living with his music have been a truly wonderful period. We have enjoyed it tremendously, have learned a lot and our love for the Maestro has only increased.“
- Jiří Bělohlávek
