R.I.P. I think I have some Supraphon recordings that he made in my collection

[gurnemanz]

Only one CD with Pešek, but a favourite in my collection. Dvořák Sixth Symphony and In Nature's Realm with Czech Phil. Idiomatic renditions in beautifully vivid sound. I've just played it with great pleasure in his memory.

[Dave2002]

I have the box set of Dvořák symphonies. Some are with the RLPO while the rest are with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

Currently 7 CDs from Amazon at £!2.99 - good set. Warner/Erato.

Was brought to our attention in UK by a very successful stint at RLPO - I have a number of his recordings both with RLPO and CPO.
RIP Libor.

Including his Dvorak?
