Ladislav Slovák

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ladislav Slovák (1909, Veľké Leváre – 1999, Bratislava) was a Slovak conductor.

He was a long-time director of the Slovak Philharmonic, taking over the job from his teacher and mentor Václav Talich. Amongst his most important recordings is the entire collection of Dmitri Shostakovich's fifteen symphonies, published by Naxos Records. Slovák met Shostakovich on rehearsals during a stay at Leningrad, where he studied under the great Russian conductor Yevgeny Mravinsky.

His daughter, Kamila Magálová, née Slováková, is one of Slovakia's best known theater actresses and a member of the Slovak National Theatre.
