Background: Of all the famous and fruitful musical friendships, that between Brahms and Dvorák was one of the most felicitous. Right from their first meeting in 1878, Dvorák's style was in thrall to the musical heritage of the older composer. The Violin Concerto and the Third Piano Trio certainly belong to this period 'under the influence'.

Isabelle Faust was Gramophone Young Artist of the Year for her first recording of sonatas by Béla Bartók, in 1997. Alexander Melnikov was selected as a 'BBC New Generation Artist' from 2000 to 2002. Jean-Guihen Queyras was the solo cellist of the Ensemble Intercontemporain with whom he recorded the Ligeti Cello Concerto conducted by Pierre Boulez (Gramophone Contemporary Music Award).

Jirí Belohlávek, a leading conductor in international circles today, has been a household name in Prague since the 1970s. He worked as Chief Conductor of the Prague Symphony Orchestra (1977-1989) and has worked with the Czech Philharmonic since 1973 first as a guest, from 1981 as a permanent conductor and in 1990- 1992 as Chief Conductor. In 1994 he established the Prague Philharmonia and has been its musical director since.
