Smetana (1824-1884) – Moldau – Vlatva – Discography
For years I have been wanting to do a comparative discography of My homeland, loving and Kubelík and Czech music. I started with the Moldau: over a hundred versions: one must be crazy... Kubelík (1984 and 1990) exceeds everything for me, but there are many other excellent versions, for example by the little-known conductor Reinhard Seifried and a great young Czech conductor, Jakub Hrusa.
