The Smetana Trio, founded in 1934 by legendary Czech pianist Josef Páleníček, belongs to the most prestigious contemporary Czech ensembles. In its interpretation it follows the ideal created by its predecessors. The current members (Jitka Čechová – piano, Jiří Vodička – violin, Jan Páleníček – violoncello) prove that a basic prerequisite for success of every fine trio are perfect soloist skills of the players.
