Karel Ančerl Gold Edition Explained

The Karel Ančerl Gold Edition is the collection of 42 reissued and remastered albums, recorded by Czech conductor Karel Ančerl from 1950 until 1968, when the artist left Czechoslovakia in the wake of the Soviet invasion. The CDs were released by the Supraphon label between 2002 and 2005.[1]

In 2006, this set was awarded the most prestigious prize by Grand Prix du Disque de l'Académie de Charles Cros due to the exceptional artistic and technical level of the classical music recordings. After 2005, Supraphon released the last four discs of the collection, linked as no. 43 of the set.
