Václav Hudeček ranks among the most gifted violinists, not only on a Czech but also an international<br />
scale, to have graced a 20th-century concert stage. Following his debut in London (at the tender age of<br />
15!) with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, he appeared at the most prestigious concert venues<br />
(Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, Osaka Festival Hall, Sydney Opera) with world-renowned orchestras (Berliner<br />
Philharmoniker, Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, NHK Philharmonic Orchestra, Gewandhaus Leipzig, etc.).<br />
David Oistrakh, who immediately recognised Hudeček’s exceptional talent, was his teacher and mentor,<br />
and on several albums accompanied him as a conductor too. Hudeček made the recordings of the four<br />
greatest Romantic violin concertos for Supraphon (between the ages of 22 and 28) with Jiří Bělohlávek<br />
and Václav Smetáček. They bear witness to the remarkable musicality and technical skill of the Czech<br />
representative of the Russian violin school and many years later have lost none of their power and should<br />
occupy a place in the collections of all lovers of the violin’s passionate tone.<br />
The four most beautiful Romantic concertos rendered in the rich timbres of Václav Hudeček’s violin.<br />
