I HIGHLY recommend checking out this collection, especially the second volume (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_obrazech_II), as it's the pinnacle of Hapka's contributions to film music -
mainly thanks to the excellent music written for the critially acclaimed films Perinbaba and Tis�cročn� včela! One and three are good as well, but the second is definitely the best!
Check out the samples I added ;)

Samples of all tracks can be found on Supraphonline (https://www.supraphonline.cz/album/236762-v-obrazech-hudby-z-filmu-1-3-komplet/cd)

Enjoy! And please write a short comment, if you liked the music!

Thanks for expanding our knowledge of Czech film composers!
BTW, the sampling method is a great idea!

As I said before, it's a shame that such great composers are often overlooked. And I'm glad you like the idea of sampling! ;)
