Má Vlast

Album by Bedřich Smetana & Francesco d'Avalos & Philharmonia Orchestra

Má Vlast is a cycle of six symphonic poems by Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, completed in 1879. The work combines late-Romantic orchestral writing with Czech nationalistic elements, employing folk-influenced themes, vivid orchestration and programme-driven structures that evoke landscapes and historical subjects, and it represents a central statement of Smetana's late career and his contribution to national music.
