Sir Colin Davis is captured on this recording with the London Symphony Orchestra in a rare performance of Smetana's "Ma Vlast." This is a very good reading, but it lacks the punch of Rafael Kubelik's accounts on Deutsche Grammophon with the Boston Symphony Orch. and on Supraphon with the Czech Philharmonic Orch. James Levine, Libor Pesek, Neeme Jarvi, and Charles Mackerras have turned in good performances of "Ma Vlast" as well that are worth checking out.The audio quality, however, is excellent. This recording has also been released as a hybrid SACD. I imagine that sound is unbelievable in surround sound.This is a good overall interpretation and performance, but it wouldn't be my first choice for this piece. Sir Colin Davis usually does a fine job, but his true specialty, for me, are his interpretations of Berlioz and Sibelius.
