About

Karel Ančerl was one of the most tragic conductors of the twentieth century: he survived the extermination camps, in which he lost his wife and children.

After the war, with Václav Talich, he was certainly the greatest Bohemian conductor. Known above all for his recordings of Smetana and Dvořák, he stood out for his interpretations (early 1960s) of the great European repertoire of the 19th century. This double CD testifies to his approach to three very different, and significant, composers: Mahler, Sibelius and Janáček. High quality studio recordings.
