News from Archive and catalog update

We were asking from November 2014 (directly or indirectly) composers respectively their heirs, which we managed to get the contact, to find out the status of potential collections of recordings of Czech film music. So far we have approached about 39 composers and already we have received 22 replies, mostly very positive.

On the basis of responses and reactions, we started putting together lists of recordings from individual composers, who already have the necessary information. This is an update of our catalog, where we added titles from Milan Svoboda, Jan Jirásek and Luboš Sluka. Many other titles are coming over time. It is a demanding process, therefore a total of updates will be carried out in longer time periods. However, already now it is evident, that the recordings of the Czech film music is in the personal archives of the composers more than we originally thought. I would like to once again thank all the composers, who responded to our call for their helpfulness and willingness. Thank you very much!

In November 2021, we finally added to the Archive database the found titles of composer Václav Zahradník. I would like to thank Jakub Zahradník (son of the composer V. Zahradník), who provided me with the information. The original media are studio tapes, however, Mr. J. Zahradník has already transfered them to CDs.
