Free Music Review: A vivid grab bag of a collection
Hit: 4 Stars
This appears to be a collection of Supraphon recordings which means while they are not of the greatest sound quality, they are well conducted and well played. The l933 Bartered Bride production (also on Naxos) is well conducted though not especially well sung; the later Dalibor is quite marvelous, probably the best performance in Czech. The quartets and piano trio are well played, as is the (generally unknown) piano music. As, for that matter, are the lesser known orchestral pieces. Ma Vlast, the one well known orchestral piece, is played in a superb l941 performance led by the great Vaclav Talich (one of the unexpected pleasures of the Prague National Theater (the national opera) is a statue to Talich with an inscription to the effect that "he saved the orchestra" (i.e. he kept it together with integrity under both the Nazis and the Communists). So given its price, this is a fine set.
