Product information:This CD is a must-have for anyone who wants to gain an understanding of Czech music, its most frequently played and most frequently recorded pieces. A recording of an orchestra synonymous with two great composers. And the conductor who introduced the Czech Philharmonic to the world. Smetana wrote Vltava less than two months before he suddenly lost his hearing. It was an emphatic response to speculation that this tragic circumstance would end his composing career. "The Story of a Czech River was to become a symbol of all things Czech, an anthem celebrating the Czech land, the Czech nation and its traditions. On the other hand, Dvořák's time in America, crowned by the triumph of Symphony No. 9 "From the New World", clearly demonstrated the international qualities of Czech music - the strength of its heritage and its ability to reflect and co-shape the development of music in the world. Smetana was at the origin of the phenomenon of "Czech music", while Dvořák ensured that this phenomenon became known throughout the world. Karel Ančerl succeeded in turning the Czech Philharmonic into a world-renowned orchestra, an ensemble that authentically and uniquely represents Czech music and musicianship from New York to Tokyo.

Album valt binnen het genre Klassieke muziek, Romance en Tsjecho-Slowaakse klassiekers.
