Vote for the Czech Philharmonic as Gramophone’s Orchestra of the Year!

Gramophone Magazine’s Orchestra of the Year Award Nominees have been released for 2024, and the Czech Philharmonic has been honored with a selection! As part of their nomination, the recent release of Chromosphere received a spotlight for what made this “a thoroughbred orchestra of immaculate virtuosity.”

“That the Czech Philharmonic should have brought such rich sensitivity to Magdalena Kožená’s recital of Czech songs (07/24), or together with Semyon Bychkov offered an account of Smetana’s Má vlast so powerfully resonant in understanding and affection (04/24), comes as no surprise. But add in a revelatory Mahler Symphony No 1 (11/23), or even the recent album of contemporary works from the orchestra’s Wind Ensemble, ‘Chromosphere’ (2/24), and you find yourself in the company of a thoroughbred orchestra of immaculate virtuosity.”
