I was at that concert and I was right behind President Havel, I personally met with Rafael Kubelik because I worked at the AMU Music Faculty. I have wonderful memories for this concert: D

How incredible. I am envious. I saw Kubelik conduct in person just once with the Cleveland Orchestra doing Ma vlast complete in 1978. This was the only time Cleveland Orchestra has performed this work complete in its history. I was 14 years old.

@Gian Masini

He was born in 1824 in Litomysl, which was part of former Austrian Empire, then Czechoslovakia and current Czech republic. So yeah, he was bohemian, although born during reign of kaiser Francis I.

Old Town Square in Prague, few months after the Velvet Revolution. Very emotional homecoming for the conductor Rafael Kubelík, who lived in exile during the communist rule. He came out of retirement just for this performance.

David J Gill

9y↑88

This concert, on June 9, 1990 was held a bit less than a month after Kubelik's historic appearance conducting the same music at the opening concert of that year's Prague Spring Festival on May 12, 1990. Despite the compromises of an outdoor performance this might be the most powerful recording of Ma vlast to be found.

They risked so much. The exposed countless priceless instruments on open air stage. If it started to rain the damage would be devastating.
Not mentioning acoustic problmes. The sound dissapears without reverb, which is very bad especially for wooden section and namely flutes. They sound like a military band. 8:26 just one example

Příběh za tou skladbou je možná tak stejně překrásný a dojemný, jako skladba sama. Půl roku po pádu komunismu a půl roku od začátku nového režimu se sešli lidé, aby si společně zahráli jednu z předních národních skladeb od B. Smetany a oslavili novou šanci k vytvoření nového svobodného Československa. Myslím si, že je krásně vidět, jak Pan dirigent si tento fakt uvědomuje a myslím, že snad i užívá :-)

I highly recommend this historic (and historical) outdoor concert under the baton of the great Czech conductor Rafael Kubelik leading an expanded Czech orchestral force (notice the almost triple number of flutes + piccolos!). In particular, his rhythmic control and tempo variations (e.g., quicken the tempo in the "Wedding" section and then, again, when approaching the climax leading to the fading-away before the final double-bang ending). The "Rapids" section was terrifyingly ferocious but wonderfully effective. Overall a marvelous performance! By the way, maestro Kubelik was known for his interpretation of not just Smetana but also Dvorak. He would often antagonize orchestra musicians for demanding prolonged rehearsals in search of artistic integrity (or "perfection"). He was generally considered one of the great conductors that followed the era of Toscanini.

Hoy me di cuenta que precisamente, el 15 de mayo será un año que de alguna forma, "se cerró mi corazón" y no habia vuelto a escuchar esta musica tan hermosa, y fue por el fallecimiento de Cecy mi nuera de escasos 43 años, de leucemia.

I understand your point, and yes, it is fast, but that just makes it so exuberant. I love slower presentations, too, though, which give the feeling of a calmly flowing river. How to choose? Maybe have them both and listen to one or the other, depending on your mood?

"Homeland" indeed. After Habsburg, Austro-Hungarian, German, and Soviet rule Czechia had finally won it's freedom. This concert took place just months after the "Velvet Revolution" and it even predates the formation of the Czech Republic by a few years. The curtain had been lifted and anything was possible in those days. To have a master Czech conductor leading not one, but three, great Czechoslovakian orchestras in Bedrich Smetana's masterwork in his homeland for his homeland's newly freed people is simply extraordinary. Kubelik preserved their great musical heritage for all of humanity with his podigious recording career spanning over 40 years. Many of his performances, depite their age, I still consider to be definitive and will never be matched. God bless you, Rafael!

depends on the period-by 1800,czech chulture,language,literature and the national political life was nearly extinct. But last 50 years of Habsburg rule could hardly be described as 'opressive', that is the fact. Regarding Masaryk period- you could hardly find more progressive democracy in Europe outside the UK.... Benes period has been product of events originating in the rise of nazism , which was totally out of control for this unfortunate politician

If you liked this version listen to the even more wonderful performance by Kubelik conducting the Chicago Symphony on Mercury Living Presence records from 1951. It's much more lush and soulful, in my opinion and he takes it at a much more leisurely tempo which really brings the flow of the river into your mind....

Sorry but it was much better on place, video is not good; I was there. Also no one plays Ma Vlast as good as Czech symphony orchestra because they plays their patrie and know places, rythmes, history and beauty. I do apologize, but european symphony orchestra have that feeling of the emotion you don't find other continents - despite perfection... Kubelik was czech. Only people who know image behind can give the soul to it and the own words of Kubelik :"No other musicians can play this work in this way," as Kubelik said after these concerts"!

- this 'My Homeland' was the first concert he conducted in his country after so many years.

So definitely an excuse on his side to be bit emotional:)
