Composer: Bedřich Smetana
Artists: Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra, Theodore Kuchar (conductor)
Bedřich Smetana was a forerunner of the Nationalist music movement in 19th-century Czechoslovakia, and played a large part in developing the country’s musical identity. This disc comprises Smetana’s most renowned work, the inimitable Má vlast (My Homeland), a series of six tone poems - composed over five years - that depict different elements of the landscape of the composer’s native country. Vyšehrad, or The High Castle, is the first movement, based on the castle in Prague - the residence of early Czech kings. It opens with arpeggios played by a duo of harps, and later a military element is portrayed with the help of a march theme. The second movement Vltava (The Moldau), depicts the route of the river from the mountains to its end. Šárka, the third movement, explores the Czech folklore centred on the Bohemian Amazon maiden of the same name. This is followed by Z českých luhů a hájů (From Bohemia’s Meadows and Fields); a depiction of a beautiful landscape on a sunny day.
These first four movements were intended to complete the work, but after a gap of four years Smetana composed another two: Tábor, portraying the Hussite warriors who founded and defended the city of Tábor in 1420, and Blaník, named after the mountain in central Bohemia. This, the final movement, begins with the same driving rhythms as Tábor and later relents into a joyful hymn. It is easy to see how this work paved the way for Smetana to be heralded as one of Czechoslovakia’s greatest composers and patriots. The works are performed by the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Theodore Kuchar.

Je ryze český. V jeho díle je obsažena česká duše i část historie, která se vepsala, v dobrém i zlém, do české "duše" národa. Jen z jiných národů, které mu moc nerozumí, o to více potěší, že Japonci jej, jako další naše velikány uznává, rozumí mu. A také říkají, že v jeho díle je naše duše.
Bedřich Smetana - génius. Neuvěřitelné, že takovou krásu dokázal stvořit v době, kdy již zcela přišel o sluch. A smutné, že toto své dílo nikdy neslyšel. I když - možná, že svým vnitřním sluchem přece jen slyšel. Jinak by snad nemohl něco takového stvořit. Letošní dvojí výroční Smetanovo je sice připomínáno, ale kdo to cíleně nehledá, ničeho si moc nevšimne. Chtělo by to, aby se o tomto výjimečném muži našeho umění a historie mluvilo mnohem výrazněji.
When I was about 8 in 1976 my uncle from Canada introduced me to "Vltava". I got to tknow this whole masterpiece in 1990 after the fall of the "iron curtain" when I bought an LP in Prague. I have loved this whole symphonic epic masterpiece all of my life and I do not gettired to listen to it.. Wonderful, a hymn about the beautiful and wild Bohemia. A classic. Fantastic.
I felt my soul being lifted 😦😳😳✨🤍

Magnificent, I first heard Vltava when I was about 17 or 18 years old and though I knew nothing of classical music I knew I would love that piece forever. Forty years later my love has grown to include the entire Symphonic Poem with Vysehrad possibly , sometimes, edging ahead of Vltava in my esteem. Thank you for this beautiful rendition, I am grown young again in an hour.

@Jan Cimbálek You are a lucky man, I too love this piece of music and indeed the entire Ma Vlaast cycle - sometimes I even allow 'Vysehrad' to overtake 'Vltava' but only for a little time. I'm an Irishman and have visited your beautiful nation many times, I've travelled the Vltava from Praha to Slapy on the little river tour boat that runs on Saturdays and become ever more enthralled with the peace, beauty and wonder of 'the nature' in that magical valley. Truly never was a piece of music so well matched to it's inspiration- you can visualise the changing stream in every note and phrase. I'm sad that I haven't visited Czechia for a few years now, I hope to visit again before too long. Na shledanou Jan.

Do so, we need every tourist now. Visit other places than just Prague, make it worth your trip. Rent a bike and cycle the countryside to see castles, chateaux, monasteries, even old mines. Visit technical museum in Prague, to see the industrial revolution, from bikes to airplanes. The grim concentration camp Terezín, 18th century fortress Josefov, baroque city of Olomouc. And beer. You certainly missed that as a kid. Beer is cheaper than water in restaurants.
Tennessee, domov muj. But my soul is still, to a large degree, in the "old country', Bohemia !!

Wonderful! Such a beautiful, passionate and colorful sound. This must be one of my most cherished and favorite pieces. This is a masterpiece as a whole, and I enjoy every second of it. I have to say I absolutely love the harps in Vyšerad. Smetana is an incredibly talented composer, it truly is a mystery to me how one can create something so touchingly beautiful. I can't see meaning and happiness in life without music like this. Makes my heart burst.
I didn't imagine that I would enjoy such a piece, by randomly clicking on this song on youtube. The part beginning at 2:34 conquested me.
Díky za upload. Opravdu díky. Až po letech jsem dospěl k tak dokonalé hudbě.
Although most people love the second movement the most and trust me I do as well, however I love movements 1,4 and 6 just as much as well. This music is absolute kino ❤❤❤
This truly is a BRILLIANT performance and recording. I think it holds its own with any that precede, including Kubelik, Ancerl, Talich, and Neumann.
It's such a Beautiful Day brought me here. My love for classical did also. Love Schumann and Mozart.
❤️Thank you dear dad❤️ for opening the door to this infinitely beautiful music for me. 👼 See you soon and celebrate👼
This is truly one of the brilliant classics
Brilliant, divine, immortal masterpiece! 💖💖💖
Oh, my goodness. At the very end, when they play both main motifs at the same time! My heart soared and I got chills! So beautiful it makes me almost cry. I have love this amazing piece so much, and it is a love I share with both of my parents.
The purest beauty of music
it is more like story telling , amazing composer ..
Krása Čech a Láska k vlasti je cítit z celého tohoto díla.
I'm so proud to be Czech. ❤🇨🇿 This is a beautiful piece, and an admirable and inspiring author. It's unbelievable that he composed it when he was deaf. I hope he will never be forgotten and his music will be performed forever.
Y pensar que a los diez años apendí a escuchar "El Moldava" y me enamorpe de esta melodía. Por fin escucho la colección completa "MiPatria". Bravo.
A few years back it was a tradition that on train stations throughout the Czech Republic, a snippets of the compositions from Czech composers would be played before the announcement of a train coming to the station. I absolutely loved traveling via the Prague Main Station, because they would play the beginning of Vyšehrad and it was just magnificent.. I have a feeling the ČD would play it before announcements in the train itself too, but I am not 100% sure about that, either way, I loved it absolutely.. Such a shame they stopped doing this.
スメタナの曲は、恥ずかしながら、モルダウしか知りませんでした。それだけでも十分だと思えるくらい美しい曲だと思っていましたが、ほかにも素晴らしい曲があるのですね。ご紹介いただき有り難うございました。

Tive o enorme prazer de ouvir este poema sinfônico no Teatro em Praga. Foi meu sonho depois de ter ouvido esta obra prima somente em discos ou pela Internet. Bedrich Smetana é o maior compositor tcheco. Que nos proteja de onde estiver....
This music will make you travel in time.
Classical was the music I loved as a toddler and kid. Parents were bloody thrilled. When I think about it, it's the only music that my love had no influence from others, was purely what I liked. First heard Má Vlast in the 'Tree of Life' trailer and it was love.
Absolute 1870s banger
Naprosto dokonalé! 👏

I myself have been there in the 1980s numeral times and we always met people who spoke the german language.
