Next to the DVD this package also contains two CD’s with the complete opera “La Bohème”
Czech composer Bedrich Smetana is best known for his orchestral cycle My Country (Ma Vlast) featuring the ever-popular Moldau, and his opera The Bartered Bride. It is less known that the larger part of his output is written for piano solo. Smetana was a well known pianist of no mean powers. One of the first “Nationalistic” composers, he wrote many Polkas, the national dance of his homeland. These, often quite substantial, works are the Czech equivalent of Chopin’s Polonaises, or Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies.
This 2-CD set features the Complete Czech Dances (Book I and II), Souvenirs de Boheme, a selections from his beautiful cycle Dreams, and a few remarkable separate pieces.
Played with great understanding of the idiom by Czech pianist Antonin Kubalek, and Peter Schmalfuss. |
