Honour to Jaroslav Kocian 40

This recording arose on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the international Kocian Violin Contest, which takes place in Ústí nad Orlicí every beginning of May. There are presented five selected Czech absolute winners of the contest history. Each performs one composition by Maestro Kocian and also other pieces after his own choice.
