Fire and emotion in Czech national music.......2007-07-11
Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) and Leos Janacek (1854-1928) were two of the principal architects of the new Czech national music that evolved in the late 19th century. Neither are best known for the contents of this CD; Smetana is best known for "My Homeland", a set of tone poems depicting Czechoslovakia and Czech legends, and the opera "The Bartered Bride". Janacek composed several operas including "Jenufa" and "The Cunning Little Vixen" and the suite "Taras Bulba". His "Sinfonietta" on this recording is among his better-known orchestral works.
Perhaps as little known as "Hakon Jarl" is that Smetana -- like Beethoven with the Symphony No. 9 -- composed "Ma Vlast" after he was deaf as a result of syphillis. The composer eventually went mad from the disease and died in a madhouse. Janacek apparently met a better fate at the end.
Smetana's tone poems are not well known and this recording, made in 1971, is still the best recording of "Richard III", "Wallenstein's Camp" and "Hakon Jarl" made in the analog or digital eras. Czech conductor Rafael Kubelik is an outstanding advocate for the music. He has recorded it before; a recording with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra dating from the 1940s, with pretty good sound for the era, is available accompanied by Vitezslav Novak's South Bohemian Suite (ASIN: B00009L4T4). For my money, however, this is the recording of choice in this repertoire.
Smetana's tone poems are modeled after Liszt; they tell a story, usually about a Czech legend, and are developed in rising romantic waves that sweep the listener along, later settling into calm before again exploding into sound. They are not on the level of inspiration of a Tchaikovsky tone poem but they compare well to Dvorak's tone poems such as the "Noonday Witch".
The sound on this 35-year-old recording is excellent with good frequency response, clarity and bass depth. The playing of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is outstanding and they acquit themselves under Kubelik as if they were Praque residents that survived the 1968 Soviet takeover. This is a CD to treasure if you enjoy romantic Czech music.
An unknown repertoire of Smetana!.......2006-04-15
According the learned precepts of his mentor, Franz Liszt, Smetana three symphonic poems between 1858 and 1861, being conductor of the Philharmonic Society `s concerts in Gothenburg, Sweden. Eventually, these works point the way to his fame cycle My Country.
It should be said the Orchestral cycle of Smetana is unfinished without having listened these symphonic poems, which gives you a total support to enjoy his acclaimed "My Country"
Richard III (1858) as well as the other symphonic poems is built according the Liszt pattern: four movements, disguised and shortened form. The delirious paranoia and power `s thirst until the tragic finale is underlined with an admirable orchestration and frenetic drama.
Wallenstein `s Camp (1859) was originally conceived as an Overture based on a Schiller's play.
Hakon Jarl (1861) was written in homage to the hospitable Scandinavians and describes an episode from the time when Norway was converted to Christianity, and deals with the effort of this Regent in order to re-establish heathendom but his plans are modified because Olaf Trygvason, the legitimate heir of the dethroned king.
Carnival in Prague was composed in a terrible period in which Smetana, already threatened with a serious mental illness, could complete it. It is provided of heightened expressiveness where the composer intermingles folk dances, high jinks, whirl of a polonaise. The first performance was given before his sixtieth anniversary at the eve of his final reclusion in the Prague mental asylum, that constituted indeed his last sojourn due the proximity of his death.
Rafael Kubelik enriched and illuminated the score with his fervent and masterful directorial abilities, making sound the Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks with precise articulation in every one of the attacks.

Wow....better than I first thought.........2007-04-12
I came across this CD (from a "Relaxation" series) by accident and thought, oh no, just another compilation of classical music tidbits---and taken from TV commercials/shows yet---oh, spare me! But how wrong I was. Despite its boast of being, "The Most Popular Classical TV Themes in the Universe" title (and because the price was reasonable for a 2-CD set), I bought the CD and was amazed by the quality of the recordings. I was disappointed when neither the manufacturer nor Amazon.com provided a listing of the artists on the recordings; as after hearing some of the tracks, I wanted to buy the artists' complete renditions. My favorite track on this CD, Debussy's "Clair de Lune," is performed so movingly, so stirringly, so hauntingly, that I wish I knew who recorded it. Not all tracks are arranged for orchestra. An example is Handel's "Largo from Xerxes," which is arranged for harp-and-flute, an arrangement which I found delightful and reminiscent of times in the 18th century when the elite held their salons and provided such music at these events. There is no singing on any tracks; it's pure instrumental. I didn't purchase my copy for "relaxation," as the series promotes, for the CD is just as enjoyable to play anytime, anywhere, and especially with a quality headset!

There is another edition of Antonin Kubalek and Schmalfuss to boot!.......2007-03-06
These are finely performed solo piano works. The recording is quite good as well.
There is a two disk edition on the Brilliant label. I paid the same price, but got the Reveries 6-10, 3 more Polkas and Souveniers de Boheme en forme de Polka, OP 12&13. 126 minutes in all.
Kubalek does the dances as on both this and my alternative disks. Peter Schmalfuss does the Reves and the Souveniers on the other edition from Brilliant. He was a student ofGiesking and Kempff.
You know what to expect in this folk based material. So if you are after that, then you will be pleased to find them and carried away by them. But at least get this one if you cannot find the Brilliant one.
Unknown Smetana - Fine treasure .......2005-02-01
This Smetana's piano works really surprised me. They are beaatifullly played by Antonin Kubalek. He's real expert on Czech music. I am looking for his Piano courses in summer in Czech republic. It will be surely wonderfull experience...

Customer Reviews:
A bit overpriced, but worth having if you're into this music.......2003-01-17
This recording has quite a few pieces I've never heard before. Thus there's fun in the discovery. In one CD, you get a nice summary as it were, of 19th century Czech classical music (reflecting the various influences in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century). I would have given this one 5 stars had this CD been listed at the "bargain" level (less than $10 Cdn.). Still the disc is a nice one to unwind to.
