The Places
Prague is the ancient capital of Bohemia and now of the Czech
Republic. Its history is reflected in its buildings, recalling the
splendours of the past under changing dynasties and the 400 or
so years as part of the Habsburg Empire, until the establishment
of the new republic of Czechoslovakia in 1918. At the heart of
Europe, the region has always been a fertile ground for musicians.
The Music
The music included here is associated in one way or another with
Prague or Bohemia. It includes works by the Bohemian
composers Smetana and Dvořk, by the Moravian composer
Janček, and by Fibich who, with Mozart, always found a ready
welcome for his music in Prague.
