The present orchestra was created in 1956 by merging the Brno-based Radio and Regional orchestras, and since then has been among the leading Czech orchestras in terms of both size and importance. On its tours abroad, it has performed about a thousand concerts throughout Europe, the United States of America, Latin America, and both the Middle and Far East. The Filharmonie Brno is a regular guest at festivals in the Czech Republic and abroad, frequently joining forces for these appearances with the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno.

The orchestra regularly records for the Czech Radio, Czech Television and a number of music labels (including Supraphon, Sony Music, IMG Records, BMG and Channel 4), and in 2020 founded its own label, Filharmonie Brno. It is also receiving a growing number of commissions from global clientele through the agency Czech Orchestra Recordings.

Concertos is a disc that I and all of the artists featured on it have been working on for years. Initial recording took place in 2011 in Zlin, Czech Republic with the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic. Some years separted these recordings and the more recent ones from Brno with the superb Brno Philharmonic orchestra and Mikel Toms.

The works on this disc span a period of about eight years of my creative life and move between dramatic and assertive music to music marked by fragility, tenderness and emotion. The performances are uniformly excellent and the audio quality is something about which we are proud!

For your consideration—please do think of this terrific disc when nominating season comes around!!
