Vilánková, Petra ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (advisor) ; ČEPICKÝ, Leoš (referee)
The Czech Nonet was faunded in 1924 by a group of students of the Prague Conservatory and it is one of the longest continuously performing chamber ensemble in the world. The ensemble´s instrumentation is based on Spohr´s Grand Nonetto Op.31: violin, viola, cello, contrabass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. The Czech Nonet was quickly recognized as both an important interpreter of classic repertoire and an ardent champion of new music, inspiring the composition of more than 300 works by some of the greatest living composers, including Prokofiev, Lutoslawski, Martinů, etc. The Czech Nonet has made numerous concert tours round Europe ( Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and France), North and South Americas, Japan, Africa and has performed at many world-famous music platforms, such as : Musikverein Vienna, Montreaux Auditorium Starvinskij, the Munich Herkulessaal, the Auditorio de Zaragoza, the Lyon Auditorium, the Washington Library of Congress, the Vancouver Playhouse,the Dvořák hall at the Prague Rudolphinum etc. The Czech Nonet´s rich discography has been recorded by the Supraphon, Panton and Harmonia Mundi recording companies on forty-five LP´s and CD´s.
