Concert and recording dramaturgy of the Czech philharmonie orchestra in the years 1948-1968 in context of the contemporary music scene
Němečková, Milena ; Douša, Eduard (referee) ; Slavický, Milan (advisor)
Historická kapitola orchestru Ceské filharmonie, kterou se zabývá tato práce, zacíná už v roce 1945. V ríjnu tohoto roku podepsal Edvard Beneš Dekret prezidenta republiky c. 129 o zestátnení Ceské filharmonie. Od této chvíle hradí náklady na provoz orchestru stát a Ceské filharmonii se tak dostává stálé jistoty financního zabezpecení. K dalšímu významnému zlomu došlo v roce 1948, nekolik mesícu po únorovém komunistickém puci - tehdejší šéfdirigent Rafael Kubelík odchází do emigrace. V sezóne 1948 - 1949 se vedení ujal Václav Neumann, 20. ríjna 1950 byl na místo šéfdirigenta jmenován Karel Ancerl, který na tomto míste setrval až do roku 1968, kdy také on zvolil odchod do zahranicí. Jak je na první pohled zrejmé, historie orchestru svými mezníky do znacné míry odráží spolecensko-politický vývoj v tehdejším Ceskoslovensku a jeho zásadní prelomy. Proto má svou logiku vymezit období, které nás bude zajímat, roky 1948 - 1968. S výjimkou prvních dvou let vyplnuje tuto etapu vedení Karla Ancerla. Literatura se shoduje, že Ancerlovým hlavním prínosem bylo proniknutí orchestru na mezinárodní pódia a repertoárové oživení - predevším z okruhu skladatelu 1. poloviny 20. století, z okruhu skladatelu moderny. Dodejme, že tehdy se ve vetšine jednalo o skladatele žijící. Celá Ancerlova éra se odehrávala v dobách nejtužšího...

He devoted his entire life to travel ling - even after the World War II , which was made possible only because he was a privileged member of government. In this period he became known as an author of books of travel about exotic count ries, to which a regular Czechoslovak citizen could not even dream of going because of several border restrictions. This paper deals in detail with and compares two books depicting his travels to the Far East : Post cards from China and Made in Japan. The content is two fold: on the one hand, it depicts parts which have strong communist ideological background and depicts the way how they work, but on the other hand it also brings attention to different parts which spring from Hoffmeister's broad interest in art and literature and thus became more accept able for a contemporary reader.
