Kubelik's 2nd Ma Vlast recording, 1959
Rafael Kubelik (1914-1996) recorded Smetana's Czech nationalist tone poem cycle "Ma Vlast" (My Fatherland) 5 times: Chicago Symphony (Mercury, 1951); Vienna Philharmonic (Decca, 1959: this one); Boston Symphony (Deutsche Grammophon, 1971); Bavarian Radio Orchestra (Orfeo, 1984); and Czech Philharmonic (Supraphon, 1990). Some listeners are loyal to one or another Kubelik recording but I like them all for varying reasons. This Vienna recording was the first in stereo, and I begins cautiously but soon builds up steam, and the entire recording is very good. Without going into detail, let me add Kubelik's Vienna Ma Vlast is well worth acquiring, as are the others. Highly recommended for performance and sound. Five stars!
