About

Radek Baborák, a phenomenal Czech musician and one of the world’s foremost horn players, returns to the Czech Classicist horn concerto. With his successful career, Baborák has linked up to the fates of the Czech horn players who, back in the second half of the 18th century, gained fame in prominent chapels in the territory of today’s Germany.

The most renowned of them, Giovanni Punto, enthralled Mozart and Beethoven to such an extent that they even dedicated compositions of theirs to him. Yet other Czech composers, too, had a penchant for composing for horn: František Xaver Pokorný for his daughter, the horn virtuoso Beata; Antonio Rosetti for Josef Nagel and František Zvěřina, outstanding Czech hornists in the Wallerstein court chapel.
