Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Má vlast (Mein Heimatland)

Barenboim feiert mit seinem israelisch-arabischen Orchester eine triumphale Rückkehr in die Konzertsäle Europas.

Kirill Petrenko verzaubert mit einem klanggewaltigen Má vlast das Münchner Publikum.

Als gern gesehener Gast am Pult der Philharmoniker setzte Semyon Bychkov Smetanas sinfonischen Zyklus Mein Vaterland aufs Programm.

L'ensemble multiculturel fait montre d'une belle cohésion dans le cycle de Smetana, sous la direction d'un Thomas Guggeis (remplaçant Daniel Barenboim souffrant) impeccable de bout en bout. 

Semyon Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic continue their European tour at the Barbican, pairing Smetana's paean to his homeland with Rachmaninov's early piano concerto. 

In keeping with the festival's tradition of persevering through adversity, organizers turned a pandemic-imposed restriction to their advantage. 

Semyon Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic play Smetana's Má vlasti n an empty Rudolfinum. 

Smetana's full cycle is still a rarity in the UK, so this Berlin Philharmonic stream was a wonderful opportunity to delve deeper in this Czech classic. 

The Bamberg Symphony Orchestra bring a wonderfully bucolic programme of Czech music to The Proms.

An outstanding account of Smetana's Ma vlást in Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie was prefaced by Straussian oboe nostalgia courtesy of Albrecht Mayer. 

Aplaudimos a la Orquesta Nacional la gesta de habernos traído en tres sesiones seguidas la gran música nacionalista de Smetana, Má vlast, bajo la atenta batuta de Semyon Bychkov.

Primer concierto de la nueva temporada de Ibermúsica, la cual, entre gran expectación, arrancaba con una de las mejores formaciones orquestales, la London Symphony Orchestra, y Szeps-Znaider al frente del conjunto y del pianista Dennis Kozhukhin. 

The effervescent conductor took six little-known Czech works into another ether: one in which the footprints are invisible.

Tokyo’s NHK Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Pinchas Steinberg, gives a performance of perhaps the most famous of Bedrich Smetana’s works, a romantic tribute to his motherland, Má vlast.

Big names brought a big sound but not much else to the traditional performance of Smetana's Má vlast.

The Pittsburgh Symphony under Jiři Bělohlávek gave a rare performance of Smetana's complete cycle of tone poems.

Un rush hour rutilant au Victoria Hall vendredi soir, dont le joyau fut certainement le hautbois somptueux d'Alexeï Ogrintchouk !

The Czech Phil's all-Czech programme showed them off in resplendent form.

The Cleveland Orchestra's two Slavic programmes form part of a larger Polish thread woven into this year's EIF. Witold Lutosławski's 1954 Concerto for Orchestra struck me as an ideal opening to the first concert. Its reliance on folk tunes, collected from the Masovia region (north of Warsaw) by ethnographer Oskar Kolberg, assures an unmistakably Polish flavour.

Tonight's Prom gave the chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jiří Bělohlávek, the chance to showcase two masterpieces from his homeland, with the first half comprising the ever-popular Cello Concerto No. 2 by Dvořák and the second half, Smetana's epic cycle of symphonic poems, Má Vlast. The latter work, surprisingly, received its first complete Proms' performance this evening.
