    Smetana: Orchestral Works - Valek, Prague Radio So (2007)
    EAC Rip | Flac (Tracks + cue + log) | 3 CDs | Full Scans | 798 MB
    Genre: Classical | Label: Supraphon | Catalog Number: 3916

    Every true believer in the music of Czech nationalist composer Bedrich Smetana will have to check out this three-disc set of his orchestral works with Vladimir Válek leading the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra. Not only does it contain Smetana's orchestral masterpiece Má Vlast plus his three fairly well-known tone poems Richard III, Wallenstein's Campo, and Hakon Jarl, it also contains his nearly completely unknown four-movement Triumph Symphony, his almost totally unknown March for Shakespeare, and the Ceremonial Prelude in C major along with three short orchestral dances, the Georginen, the Louisen, and the Our Lasses Polkas.

    For every true believer, unfortunately, there are two huge drawbacks to this set. First, there is a distinct drop off in compositional quality after the supreme achievement of Má Vlast: the three tone poems are intermittently dramatic, the symphony occasionally cogent, and the march and prelude randomly entertaining, and the polkas at best merely diverting. Second, the quality of Válek and the Prague musicians' performances are in inverse ratio to the quality of the music. Part of the reason for that, of course, is that there have been so many transcendent recordings of Má Vlast over the years that a new recording needs to be quite special to make an impression, and this one is heartfelt but neither especially insightful or particularly impressive. But a larger part of the reason is that Válek is an only serviceable conductor and the Prague Radio Symphony is only a competent orchestra. He and they certainly hang together from start to finish, but rarely if ever do their performances spark, much less catch fire. This works well enough in the virtually unknown works where there is little to no competition, but less well in Má Vlast. In sum, this set is for the true believer only, and only if they really feel they must.
