Czech conductor Zden�k Kosler (1928-1995) achieved international recognition as a compelling
interpreter of large portions of the Czech and Central European repertories. Equally at ease on
the concert stage and in the opera house, he led several acclaimed recordings and presided over
the premieres of a number of Czech concert works. Instructed as a child by his musician father, Kosler
later attended the Prague Academy of Musical Arts, where he majored in conducting, composition, and
piano. During his years there, he was privileged to work with the famous Czech conductor Karel Ancerl.
After serving as assistant conductor for the Czech Choir and the K�hn Children’s Chorus, Kosler was
engaged by the Prague National Theatre in 1948. In 1951, he made his podium debut there, also
appearing for the first time with the Prague Symphony Orchestra. In 1956, Kosler placed first in the
Besan�on International Competition for conductors. From 1958 to 1962, he served as director of
the Olomouc Opera. While engaged as director of the Ostrava Opera (1962 to 1966), he won the
1963 Dimitri Mitropoulos Competition, affording him the opportunity to work as an assistant to
Leonard Bernstein during the 1963-1964 season. Following a year as principal conductor of the
Prague Symphony Orchestra, Kosler left to become conductor and music director of Berlin’s Komische
Oper, where the brilliant Walter Felsenstein was stage director. After three seasons, Kosler left to
conduct on a guest basis before accepting a five-year residency as director of the Slovak National
Theatre in Bratislava in 1971. Concurrently, he appeared as guest conductor with the Slovak
Philharmonic Orchestra and served as resident conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, a
position he filled for a decade. During this period, Kosler also accepted numerous guest assignments
in Europe, the Far East, and Canada. From 1980 to 1985, Kosler was music director and chief
conductor of the Prague National Theatre Opera. He returned to the company in 1990 as chief
conductor. Among Kosler’s many recordings are several from his tenure with the Prague National
Theatre, notably Smetana’s The Bartered Bride, Dalibor, and Libuse. His recordings of Strauss’
tone poems for Naxos are also noteworthy.

"There have only been two conductors who fully understood Prokofiev and recorded sets of
his symphonies: Jean Martinon and Zdenek Kosler. Kosler’s set has the better sound!
After the perky lightweight 1st the best 2nd ever recorded. In the senseless
hubbub and blather, the chaos and kazoo blasting tin cannism Maestro Kosler does
the unthinkable…he makes sense of the snowball fight morphed into an avalanche.
He parses the sentences and reveals a series of variations hiding beneath the rubble.
After a truly mighty and monumental 5th….Kosler the alchemist reveals the black scales
and Monarch butterflies lifting out of pots of liquid gold in symphonies 6 and 7. Buy this set!"
