Má Vlast is undoubtedly one of the best known works of Smetana even when knowledge is restricted to the tone poems, 'The Moldau' and 'Bohemia's Woods and Fields'. The work is not of ideal length for a CD, running to just a few minutes over its capacity and necessitating two CDs if played unabridged or unhurried. Of the many versions available perhaps three of the best are Kubelik, Mackerras and Talich. Kubelik has much affection for this work, having recorded it five times in a catalogue with over 32 versions (some being repeats with different couplings). The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra with its excellent Bohemian musicians has generally been accepted as a favourite for a number of Má vlast recordings, yet Vienna with its Philharmonic is geographically close by and is likely to carry the necessary Bohemian nuances. So how does Harnoncourt in this 2001 Austrian recording with the large forces of the Vienna Philharmonic match up to any previous recordings already in the listener's mind?
Harnoncourt has made his reputation with works of the German masters rather than those of Bohemians like Smetana yet he is capable of releasing hidden textures the score might have to offer. The truth is that we have an orthodox, leisurely and light reading of the score that is brought to life with sparkling brass and clear melodic lines. The dynamics tend to be stretched to provide additional impact.–Raymond Walker
