The fidelity is not that great in this recording. And I had to keep adjusting the volume as it was not consistant throughout. But the quality of the performance was quite good.

I bought the CD for the Moldau piece which I love. However, the rest of the CD is just as wonderful and I have enjoyed listening to the entire CD many times.

Years ago when I was in college, The Moldau was the most requested piece of classical music on the local PBS radio station. I purchased this CD specifically for The Moldau--and was not disappointed. I think this is probably the finest piece of music ever written for the triangle (for all you percussionists out there).

All the cd's I purchased are of excellent quality. The music and the orchestra's all perform beautifully.This music is very special and I love it.I recommend this cd an the others purchased as well.

Smetana não é muito difundido, mas "O Moldávia", parte integrante do poema sinfônico "Minha Pátria", é uma obra-prima da música clássica. Ao que parece, Rafael Kubelik, tanto no comando da sinfônica de Boston, quanto da orquestra sinfônica da rádio Bávara, dão um show de interpretação e lirismo. A gravação, como era esperado, não é boa, pois é muito antiga, mas artisticamenté a composição e execução são piramidais. Existem vários cds com esta obra com Rafael Kubelik, variando muito a técnica de gravação, mas a música em si é difícil de esquecer, eu mesmo fico com a melodia na minha cabeça todos os dias. Tem um cd da Mercury que nem estéreo é, contendo o poema completo, é magnífico, mesmo com chiados. Imperdível todos eles.

While listening to this CD, I had the undeniable feeling that I was outside breathing in the fresh air, relaxing in the sunshine listening to the sounds of a babbling brook and this glorious music!

I love "The Moldau". It is one of the most prettiest works by Smetna. I still get chills from repeated listening.

I enjoyed it, that's about all I can say. Couldn't fault it.
