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.
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.
Yea I was gonna say what wastrel way said. I believe you must not quite understand that no, he wasn't deaf. He heard more than most anyone on earth with ears that vibrate "sound" could ever hear. And he gave us what he truly heard that we could only wonder at when we entertain our wanderlust.
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.
@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.
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.
@@danieldabbas Hang in there Daniel, I'm much more than three times your age now; I still have everything to learn about classical music but I love learning and listening.
Totally wonderful! A superb suite for introducing young children to proper music. So many scenes, such imagery, real palpable landscape and culture presented in musical poetry - truly valuable.
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.
Wunderschöne und fantastische Interpretation dieser großartigen und perfekt komponierten Suite mit farbenreichen und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt unvergesslich. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgeziechnete Orchester in inspirierenden Tempi und mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
@@bethbloomer5951 Thanks for your immediate reply. I hope all the people in the world will be completely free from the coronavirus infection by the next Christmas!
I visited Prague for a couple of days once back in the 1980s, before I knew about Czech music. I now would like to go back and soak up the scenes in this wonderful piece of music.
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 ❤❤❤
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.
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.
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.
@@dirkvoninnsbruck9458 You are wrong. When he lived, "Czech Republic" was part of Austrian Empire and then Austria-Hungary. Both of which were multinational unions (which is a sovereign entity that comprises two or more nations or states). That means we were nation even back then. I think you should learn some history first... "My vlast" is Czech Republic.
@@boredinczechia4382 And if we talk about history, then you should know that Bohemia was part of the German Empire, from 1356 until 1806. Only after that it was part of the Austrian Empure, for quite a short time in comparison. Why do you think so many people in Bohemia spoke German, at least till the 2000s. I myself have been there in the 1980s numeral times and we always met people who spoke the german language. Despite almost all Germans being murdered or expelled from this county by those who are you proudly call Czechs.
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.
I’m in love with this recording! Usually it takes me several listens to fall in love, but this one is extra extra special. So beautiful! I just bought an SHM-CD version of this recording with Kubelik conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It hasn’t arrived yet and I certainly hope it’s as good as this recording!
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.

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....
I found this music from a documentary about the Simpsons and a certain couch gag that they made... I absolutely adore this track, wow I'm going to have to listen to more Bohemian classical music 🥺🥺🥺
i used to love this piece and think it was peaceful until i saw it in some horror videos and now whenever i hear it i can't _not_ associate it with death, especially the part at 15:56
@@rednmasgamas i feel like it just has a very messed up vibe, like it’d be something that plays while a character from a movie goes through a really horrible and gruesome death, maybe a fire or something. it’s weird
I wholeheartedly agree! Listen to the 2014 interview with Preston Nichols; his explanation of what these 6 songs and the total sum can do for the human mind and heart. Much love ❤ and merry Christmas!
I love this piece with all my heart, although the fifth movement never did much for me. There isn't much in the world more beautiful than the first two movements.

Smetana is one of Czech's greatest composers ever. I can't believe he was deaf when he composed these masterpieces.
It is astounding. But. A musician will tell you that music is inside your head and in your heart, not in your ears. :-)
Let me rephrase that to "Smetana is one of the world's greatest composers ever".
One of the greatest composers in Europe, if not the world
Like Zelenka!
Yea I was gonna say what wastrel way said. I believe you must not quite understand that no, he wasn't deaf. He heard more than most anyone on earth with ears that vibrate "sound" could ever hear. And he gave us what he truly heard that we could only wonder at when we entertain our wanderlust.
How great is this performance and composition?! Before today, I'd never even heard of Smetana. Now, I'm completely falling in love!
He's an icon in Czechia. JUST HOW COULD HE COMPOSE THIS WHILE DEAF? :)
Give his 6 Bohemian dances a listen , they're pretty neat too!

Miluji mé rodiče a mou vlast. Čest dobrým lidem. Čest pravdě. Pravda nakonec zvítězí.
Má Vlast. Six love songs to the Czech nation.
"Země česká, domov můj"

Im Indonesian but i fall in love with this at the first hear
Pro mě nádhera, jsem Češka a miluji Česko!
Tennessee, domov muj. But my soul is still, to a large degree, in the "old country', Bohemia !!
Hermosisimo, me recuerda a mi padre, que desde niña se escuchaba música clásica en casa.
Amen...
Pořád myslíš na tu dírku uprostřed Evropy, posilam pozdravy do Kentucky

one of the most colorful and inspiring pieces as you travel down the Moldau and feel the scenes encountered along the river. Beautiful imagery. ❤
My father loved this because his best friends when he was studying in London were from Czecheslovakia.
Now I love it as well.
Loved that country and the people since I was a kid. Haven't been there since 1989. Would love to visit again.

18:33 my favorite part. They say this part is supposed to be about the river at that moment going by a wedding or a festive dancing event.
river just casualy flowing near wedding polka, what a great idea
Gives me chills. Going on 40 years! During Šárka, that initial horseback ride! And where it goes from there...
