 Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Bedrich Smetana
In 1874, syphilis caused him to become deaf, but he continued to compose; Má vlast was written after his deafness ensued.
He may also be hinting at this personal misfortune with his scoring of the piccolo in Má vlast.
As if plain deafness were not enough, Smetana also suffered from tinnitus, which caused him to hear a continuous, maddening high note which he described as the "shrill whistle of a first inversion chord of A-flat in the highest register of the piccolo."

 Funny.co.uk - Smetana - Má Vlast
Completed in 1878, Smetana's stirringly patriotic Má vlast ("My Country") comprises 6 tone-poems in all, including the much-loved and justly famous "Vltava" (which unforgettably charts the course of that eponymous Czech river).
True, Wit's imposingly broad "Vltava" may not be to all tastes (the peasant wedding some four-and-a-half minutes in is a rather less boisterous affair than usual), but generally speaking it's refreshing to encounter a Má vlast of such plentiful incident and engaging narrative flair.

 Decca Music Group - Composers
By 1879, when Smetana completed M! vlast (My Country), he was losing his hearing and having trouble keeping his balance.
Indeed, the whole of M! vlast (My Country)is heard and recorded more frequently now than ever before.
Among the works that busied Smetana during the first half of the 1870s, the most important one was a cycle of six symphonic poems, collectively titled M! vlast (My Country), which the Smetana expert John Clapham described as the composer's "vast instrumental monument to his nation".

 BBC - Proms - Review: National Youth Orchestra/Sir Roger Norrington
Ma Vlast is often spoilt by heavy handed large orchestras but tonight everything was buttoned-down and all the more delightful for that.
Certainly, the six symphonic poems of ‘Ma Vlast’ by Smetana, of which the NYO played three, were written to represent different aspects of Bohemia, his home-land.
Three movements from Smetana's Ma Vlast provided more persuasive proof of Norrington's vibrato-less revolution.

 Bedrich Smetana - Vltava (Moldau)
Vltava (1874) is the second symphonic poem in Má Vlast, and portrays the river, called the Moldau by German-speaking Czechs such as Smetana, which rises in the _umava forest and flows through the Bohemian countryside and the city of Prague before joining the River Elbe.
Likewise, Má Vlast is an unquestionably patriotic work, but it uses the common musical language of the Central European tradition (with a particular debt to Smetana’s friend Liszt) and does so in a remarkably innovative way.
The idea of composing an 80-minute suite of symphonic poems was wholly new when Smetana began Má Vlast in 1872, and the six individual works that make up the cycle all deal successfully with the problem – then one of the hottest subjects of musical controversy – of writing programmatic music with true symphonic integrity.

 Smetana: Má Vlast
To sum everything up, I can safely say that the monaural recording still sounds good, and this thrilling recording of Ma Vlast is sure to find a happy home in the libraries of everyone who loves soul-stirring Czech orchestral music.
The two pieces are played with the fervour that they deserve, and the last few thrilling moments of Blonik crown a performance of Ma Vlast that is sure to become a benchmark standard for a long time to come.

 Popular Music : Bedrich Smetana: Ma Vlast/My Fatherland
Smetana's Ma Vlast cylce is rarely bought in its entirety (Der Moldau is the most popular), but true music lovers are missing the whole picture.
Mandaacute; Vlast, a cycle of six symphonic poems held together by some recurring thematic material, was begun in 1874 and premiered in 1882.
Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) has been called the father of Czech music; indeed, he used his people's national folk idiom in protest against foreign political and cultural domination.

 RCA Victor
Má Vlast boldly declared the case for Czech nationalism and culture, at a time when the Bohemian people were subjects of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where German was the official language.
The father of the Czech nationalist school of music, Smetana (1824-84) wrote Má Vlast between 1874 and 1879, after he had lost his hearing and endured a series of personal and professional failures.
Má Vlast is a unique conception of which Harnoncourt says ?there is no comparable work in all of European music.?

 Classical Notes - Classical Classics - Smetana's Ma Vlast, By Peter Gutmann
He joined many fellow compatriot refugees in the Chicago Symphony in 1952 to deliver the most fervent of all recorded Má Vlasts, bursting with ecstatic passion and vitality and captured in superb detail (but heavy overload distortion) by Mercury's single microphone "Living Presence" technique (now on Mercury 434 379).
The complete Má Vlast received its debut on November 5, 1882 before an ecstatic audience – and its composer, who couldn't hear a single note.
It's a rare soul who doesn't respond to his or her national anthem with an involuntary lump in the throat, a quickening of the pulse, watering of the eyes or a supportive symbolic gesture, effects so reflexive to suggest an innate connection between musical spur and chauvinistic pride.

 Amazon.co.uk: Music: Smetana - Má Vlast
As usual with Harnoncourt, this "Ma Vlast" was recorded during concerts in Vienna in 2001, although the slight difference in atmosphere between the various poems is about the only audible hint that these are indeed live recordings.
The general atmosphere is one of melancholy ("Vysehrad") and there are moments of ravishing beauty ("From Bohemia’s Fields and Groves"), but this "Ma Vlast" hardly ever touches the heart or simply carries you away.

 Bedrich Smetana - Ma Vlast [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Oct 2002 MusicWeb(UK)
When he re-recorded Ma Vlast in Prague a few years later — in 1975 with the Czech Philharmonic — he was slightly to rethink the individual tone poems and in every case a process of tightening up occurred.
If you like your Ma Vlast on the distended side, though, maybe eighty minutes with Neumann is time well spent.

 RSO Classics III Notes
Yet with a courage perhaps exceeding Beethovens, he continued to compose, and nearly all of M Vlast, including The Moldau, was written under these terrible circumstances.
It passes Vysehrad [the legendary Czech fortress castle we hear its heroic theme from M Vlasts first tone poem] and disappears majestically into the distance where it joins the Labe [Elbe].
On October 20, 1874, Smetana suddenly lost most of his hearing; a piercing whistle tormented him for the rest of his days, driving him ultimately to madness and death in an asylum in 1884 (like Schubert and Schumann, he was the victim of syphilis).

The six symphonic poems that form "Má Vlast" describe Smetana's beloved Bohemia and its people, history, myths and vision of independence.
Although the Czech people were officially part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Smetana wanted to unify his people and assert the Czechs' distinct ethnicity and character though his music.

There might be a more explosive Ma Vlast out there somewhere but I doubt there’s a more beautiful one.
Not so much Panorama as The Natural World, Ma Vlast presents the listener with a mythical, historical, and natural picture of Bohemia, painted in glowing orchestral colours.
So it is with the six tone poems that make up Ma Vlast, My Fatherland, his orchestral masterpiece.
