At the age of 96, Zdeněk Vaníček reminisced about his time with the Czech Philharmonic, where he played from 1947 to 1980. His precious memories of collaboration with Václav Talich, Rafael Kubelík, Karel Ančerl and Václav Neumann, as well as experiences from legendary foreign tour, will surely warm your heart.

Honour his memory!
