CD Reviews

Smetana's Ma Vlast

James W. Galbraith | Sunnyside, Washington USA | 08/08/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have Raphael Kubelik's Bavarian Radio edition, Libor Pesek's RLPO edition and Kubelik's Czech Philharmonic edition. I rate them in that order primarily based on performance with sound reproduction second. However, I consider the latest Kuchar performance with the Janecek Philharmonic number one considering both performance and sound equally. Yes, one can quibble over the pace of the music or perhaps some other things, but these performances will make you sit up and take notice. Kuchar's three disk release involves works also recorded by Kubelik and Noseda on the Chandos label and even more. Don't hesitate to buy the Kuchar release--the price is right and the sound is stunning."
