Supraphon Classics

Supraphon Classics Supraphon is the most significant Czech record label with a distinguished history that begun in year 1932.

Supraphon is the most significant Czech record label, and has a distinguished history. The Supraphon name, (originally used for an electric record player, a technical marvel of its day), was first registered as a trademark in 1932. In the post-war years it was the label for domestic albums produced for export, playing an important role in helping to spread Czech classical music recordings during t

he 1930s and 40s. The artistic direction of the firm gave rise to a broad catalog of titles, which ultimately mapped out the works of Bedřich Smetana, Antonín Dvořák, and Leoš Janáček, as well as other giants of both the Czech and the international music worlds. Significant domestic and foreign soloists, chamber ensembles, orchestras and conductors all contributed to Supraphon’s remarkable collection of recordings. In the years that followed, Supraphon became an export firm (1949), a manufacturing company (Supraphon Record Manufacturing, 1961), an independent publisher (Supraphon n. p., 1969) and, thanks to its continually increasing influence, a synonym for the Czech recording industry. Its carefully planned presentation of Czech music and the renown of Czech artists have earned Supraphon its place among the respected recording companies of Europe, and indeed, of the world. It is currently a joint stock company whose assets include a recording archive which is the subject of great interest, and which is so rich and unique that it has been declared a national cultural monument. In spite of the political and cultural trends of the years before the Velvet Revolution, the Supraphon archive contains not only countless music recordings, but also spoken-word recordings which constitute an irreplaceable documentation of the development of Czech dramatic art and acting skill. Recording technology and recording media have also undergone remarkable development. Although in the days of Czechoslovakia the available recording technology was relatively primitive, the quality of Supraphon albums was comparable to the production of major Western European firms. Supraphon released its first compact disc of classical music (Smetana´s My Country) in 1987, becoming one of the first producers in the world to offer this revolutionary new sound medium, and in the following year it became the first European publisher to release a classical music DVD (Dreams and Journeys). Today, Supraphon continues to build on the best of the company´s tradition. Its publishing activities center on the classical music which made it famous, as evidenced by the major prizes and awards of recent years, including the Grand Prix du Disque de L´Europe de L´Académie du Disque, the Golden Disc Prize of Nippon Columbia, Wiener Flötenuhr Preis der Mozartgemeinde Wien, Cannes Classical Awards, BBC Music Magazine Awards, Gramophone Awards and nominations for Grammy awards, among others. The Supraphon catalogue is continually expanding, adding new recordings by the best Czech artists as well as digitally remastered re-editions of historic recordings, primarily in the popular Supraphon Archive series. The Ančerl Gold series (42 CDs) has been extraordinarily well received worldwide as well as the Talich Special Edition (17 CDs). Today, Supraphon is the only former Eastern Bloc music publisher which has maintained its number one position in its domestic market as well as measured up successfully to the ever more competitive international environment. Supraphon currently makes use of an extensive network of distributors worldwide, with classical music remaining its almost exclusive export article. The company collaborates with 20 major foreign distributors on five continents. Supraphon’s recordings are also available in digital form on Supraphonline, as well as on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer and from other digital shops and services. Its publishing activities center on the classical music which made it famous, as evidenced by the major prizes and awards of recent years, including the Grand Prix du Disque de L´Europe de L´Académie du Disque, the Golden Disc Prize of Nippon Columbia, Wiener Flötenuhr Preis der Mozartgemeinde Wien, Cannes Classical Awards, and nominations for Grammy awards, among others. The Supraphon catalogue is continually expanding, adding new recordings by the best Czech artists as well as digitally remastered re-editions of historic recordings, primarily in the popular SUPRAPHON ARCHIVE series. The Ančerl Gold series (42 CD´s) has been extraordinarily well received worldwide, and the first albums of a further series, the Talich Special Edition (17 CD´s planned for 2005-07), were released in June of 2005. The spoken word also forms an integral part of Supraphon´s production. In the last few years Supraphon has been the unchallenged domestic leader in this field, thanks in particular to its outstanding children´s albums (including fairytales and the Spejbl and Hurvínek Theater) and its rereleases of classic Czech titles from the archive (including Voskovec and Werich).

We are delighted to announce another great news about our artists, this time about pianist Jan Bartoš Music 🎹👏🎹

IMG Artists is delighted to welcome pianist Jan Bartoš to our roster for worldwide general management! Jan will be represented by Senior Vice President Linda Petrikova from the New York office.

Jan Bartoš is one of the most distinct pianistic voices that have emerged from the Czech Republic in recent years. He has appeared in solo recitals and in concerts with major orchestras and his recordings from Mozart and Beethoven to Janáček to neglected composers of the last Century have earned him consistently high critical praise.

Very happy to share these news about mezzo-soprano Bella Adamova 👏👏👏

IMG Artists is delighted to welcome mezzo-soprano Bella Adamova to our roster for general management. She is represented by Senior Vice President Thomas Walton from the London office.

With “a voice that apparently can do anything” blessed with a “warm, sumptuous timbre” (Classica), “different, immediately recognisable, and exceptional” (Aktualne.cz), and whose “interpretation presents a captivating kaleidoscope of vocal expressive possibilities” (Opera Plus), mezzo-soprano Bella Adamova’s artistic commitment on the concert and operatic stage ranges widely across musical periods, genres, and cultures from the baroque to the contemporary with natural ease, with a particular focus on the art-song repertoire, showcased in deeply and thoughtfully crafted recital programmes. https://imgartists.com/news/img-artists-welcomes-mezzo-soprano-bella-adamova-to-our-roster-for-general-management/
