Product Description

Má Vlast ('My Homeland' in Czech language) is a set of six symphonic poems composed between 1874 and 1879 by the Czech composer Bedrich Smetana. While it is often presented as a single work in six movements and - with the exception of Vltava - almost recorded that way, the six pieces were conceived as individual works. They had their own separate premieres between 1875 and 1880; the premiere of the complete set took place on 5 November 1882 in Zofin Palace, Prague under Adolf Chech, who had also conducted two of the individual premieres.

In these works Smetana combined the symphonic/tone poem form pioneered by Franz Liszt with the ideals of nationalistic music which were current in the late nineteenth century. A symphonic poem is a one-movement orchestral work that has a and symphonic form, However not 'pure symphonic', its subject matter is drawn form or depicts some aspects of romantic literature, mythology, legends, the countryside or recent historical events between 1874 and 1879.

Smetana was born in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). He was very fond of his country and often wrote music about it. Vltava is about the river Moldau which flows through Prague.
