Viktorie Švihlíková (Piano, Harpsichord) 

Born: July 3, 1915 - Uman, Ukraine  /    Died: August 11, 2010 - Vienna, Austreia

The famous Czech pianist and harpsichordist, Viktorie Švihlíková, studied first with her father, who had founded the Music Conservatory in Charkow (Ukraine). Then the family moved to Prague. Here she received a music scholarship in Paris from the president of Czechoslovakia T.G. Masaryk. In Paris she was a pupil of Isidor Philippe. Afterwards she continued her studies in Prague with professor Vilém Kurz and in Berlin with Carl Adolf Martienssen (piano). She also studied composition with the famous Czech composer Vít?zslav Novák, chamber music with Václav Talich and the pre-classical music with flutist, conductor and musicologist Milan Munclinger.

Viktorie Švihlíková and Milan Munclinger got married, and in 1951 they founded the ensemble Ars Rediviva (Milan Munclinger flute, Viktorie Švihlíková harpsichord, Stanislav Ducho? oboe, František Sláma cello). The ensemble's size expanded later to a chamber orchestra This Czech ensemble, deeply interested in performance of early music, played the key role in the revival of Baroque music in its country. It was the first ensemble in Czechoslovakia to record many works of J.S. Bach (LP's of the complete Brandenburg Concertos, Art of Fugue (BWV 1080), Musical Offering (BWV 1079), trio sonatas, flute sonatas, cantatas, concertos reconstructions), and his sons (Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: sonatas, sinfonies, concerts, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach: sinfonies, sonatas, J.Ch. Bach: chamber music, sinfonies, etc.), Antonio Vivaldi (concertos, sonatas, Stabat Mater), Rameau (Pièces en Concerts, etc.), François Couperin (trio sonatas, Apothéose de Corelli, A. de Lulli, etc.), Georg Philipp Telemann (concertos, Pariser Quattuors, Musique de Table, Essercizii musici, Moralische Kantaten …), Jan Dismas Zelenka (sonatas, orchestral works, Lamentationes Jeremiae Prophetae), F. Benda (sonatas, flute concertos), J.A. Benda (Ariadna auf Naxos, Bendas Klage, sonatas, concertos for harpsichord and orchestra) as well as unknown compositions discovered in archives.

Viktorie Švihlíková's performances were an important impulse in reviving the popularity of harpsichord in her country and in the return of the harpsichord to the modern Czech music. A number of works were written for her (e.g. the Czech composer Ilja Hurník dedicated many compositions to Viktorie Švihlíková). She released most of her recordings as soloist of Ars Rediviva (labels: e.g. Supraphon, CBS, DGG, Columbia/Nippon, Ariola) and was many time awarded for her performance of early music (Grand Prix du Disque de l´Académie Charles Cross). She collaborated with B. Hubermann, J.P. Rampal and other famous musicians.

Grading

NEAR MINT

Vinyl: This record appears virtually flawless. A very minor scuff and very

little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw.

The flaw is very hard to see.

Cover: It looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age.

Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside)

may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

VG ++  (close to Near Mint)

Vinyl: Minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There are no scratches, a few scuff.

Cover: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover

(minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners,

but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where

the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing

on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS  ( VG+)

Vinyl: record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster,

but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause

any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade.

Cover: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks

clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age

of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet. The corners will be

slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork.
