“Upbeat” with Kirill Petrenko: Bedřich Smetana’s “Má vlast” Kirill Petrenko conducts Smetana’s “Má vlast”
With his cycle Má vlast (My Country) Bedřich Smetana composed a musical declaration of love to his Czech homeland – to its countryside, its history, its legends. Kirill Petrenko presents the six symphonic poems, which take us to very different romantic sound realms. The best-known work of the cycle is unquestionably Vltava (The Moldau), the flowing tone poem that depicts the river of the same name.
