Smetana: Ma Vlast

Opis

Smetana: Ma VlastOpis:Product descriptionSmetana's Cycle My Fatherland stands as a lonely peak in the symphonic landscape. There is no comparable work: Six independent musical seals that are independent and yet form an organic whole. Smetana was at the height of his time. The visionary work is unmistakably personally shaped, associated with the tragic history of the Czech nation as with the Bohemian Moravian landscape; it not only has to do with memory, it makes hope for the future, it brilliantly shields human soul landscapes. This means that it comes to a certain extent and creates something everlasting meaningful; it is a longing music that opens the thoughts and feelings in all directions. When you hear my fatherland, you emerge strengthened. There is an unheard energy in each of these six works that allows you to live with melancholy and grief: the work changes the hearing and leaves a deep wealth back in his soul.

ReviewRECORDING OF THE MONTH . A very fine achievement. MusicWeb,Jan'17 /// The result is straightforward, frill-free playing, with a keen ear for phrasing and detail. Recommended. --Gramophone, Feb '17I've only ever heard bits of Smetana's Má Vlast live in splendid isolation. Which would be intensely frustrating for Jakub Hrusa, who explains in a booklet interview exactly why these six symphonic poems have to be performed together, in sequence: My aim is to convince every promoter not to combine it with other pieces, not to interrupt it with an interval. He's keen to highlight the musical and thematic links between the different sections, in what proves to be a magnificently expansive performance. No one complains about 100 minutes of Mahler 3, so why not Má Vlast? In Hrusa's hands it just exceeds the 80-minute mark, but nothing feels rushed, Hrusa acknowledging that having a refulgent Bamberger Symphoniker at his disposal allows him to present the work as something rooted in the European tradition, not just a piece of Czech whimsy. So much sounds freshy-minted here. My ears pricked up during Vysehrad's knotty fugal writing, here bristling with energy and purpose. Diaphanous strings and soft winds turn the Wagnerian idyll at the heart of Vltava into something quite magical, and the Bamberg brass give árka enormous punch. Bohemia's fields and meadows sound bucolic, and Hrusa achieves wonders with the underrated fifth and sixth sections. The return of the Vysehrad theme at the close of Blaník is a thrilling coup de théâtre, sounding both surprising and inevitable. An exceptional disc, glowingly recorded. I can't imagine a better introduction to this iconic work. --ArtsDesk,Feb'17Jakub Hrusa has an enviable reputation in Czech repertoire and his reading of My Country has great merit.
