November: Bedřich Smetana's Má Vlast

[Jared]

well, with the month coming to an end, I have been getting back into the swing of listening to quite a bit of Czech music, Suk, Dvorak, Martinu, besides dusting down various recordings of various parts of Ma Vlast, as well as Smetana's Bartered Bride. This will probably continue as a theme until the Xmas music CDs come out, next week!!!

Many thanks once again Sean, your notes have been enlightening and enjoyable...

Thanks Jared, I am going to try and listen to the rest of my Má Vlast recordings now that my notes are complete and now back to Mahler.

Diageo are using the Vltava to promote their dreary, old, cold porter, the fecking cheek of them:

^^ now there's nothing wrong with an occasional drop of the Black Stuff, Sean...

although they really ought to stay true to their roots and used Val Doonican... ;-)

Oh I used to enjoy drinking Guinness, however, these days it is difficult to get a good pint in a pub in Dublin because it is now served chilled, it is too cold, it's bland actually, Beamish is better. :)

Yeah, right!
