Released by Supraphon in 1965 as part of the label's efforts to document mid-century Czechoslovak avant-garde music, this record captures a specific moment in the Prague musical scene where composers were beginning to experiment with timbre and structural complexity within the constraints of the Eastern Bloc. The selection features works by Josef Berg, Václav Kučera, and Zdeněk Pololáník, three composers who were central to the movement that sought to integrate Western modernism into the traditional Czech conservatory training.

The album serves as a technical showcase for contemporary chamber instrumentation, particularly the distinct Nonet for two harps, keyboard, and percussion. The compositions reflect a rigorous, academic approach to serialism and sound texture, aimed at an audience of serious listeners and contemporary music scholars. While these composers were highly respected within the Czechoslovak musical establishment, the record remains a niche archival piece, emblematic of the high-fidelity production values Supraphon maintained for local contemporary releases during the mid-1960s.
