Naxos Recording Project

The complete recording of the orchestral works of Zdeněk Fibich is an entirely exceptional project. From 2012 to 2015 a total of 8 CDs will be produced on the NAXOS label, recorded by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marek Štilec. It will be the first ever complete recording of Fibich’s orchestral output. The production will take into account historical sources, including manuscripts and contemporary copies of the musical material often used by Fibich himself or heard by him at performances he attended at the time. The recordings will be made using the most modern technology in the 24 Bit, 96 Khz format. The recording project is linked in co-operation with The Zdeněk Fibich Society to a campaign of further activities and popularisation of Fibich’s music.
