Rudolf Firkusny on this DVD !Aug 17, 2009
By Douglas Buys
I don't see anywhere anything about the most important feature of this Rudolfinum concert in Prague. It includes a good amount of playing by Rudolf Firkusny, visiting his native country, and playing a Humoresque, the song accompaniments, and a mvt. of a piano trio. Firkusny was a great artist in every conceivable way. Please also see his DVD of a recital with violinist Josef Suk (Dvorak's great-grandson) and another with the Dvorak Piano Concerto. All of these were filmed in the "Carnegie Hall" of the Czech Republic, the Rudolfinum. Firkusny left Prague because of the political turmoil, as did his friends Martinu and Rafael Kubelik. He toured the world playing with all the major orchestras, lived in NYC, and taught a few select students at Juilliard. The concert is good. He is great. There is nothing stylistically "czech" about much of the others' playing! (can you spot a TINY memory lapse in the Humoresque?)

By Graham Tully
"Irena Tully, Impulse Productions, www.impulsefilms.com"
The selected works of Antonin Dvorak - one of the most significant composers of all times - are performed here by the most renowned classical artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Frederica von Stade, Boston Symphony Orchestra and Seizi Ozawa - making this collection a stupendous experience. The music is transcendent, and the performances are brilliant.

Classic Music Lovers will love it.Dec 02, 2011
By Eric L. Parker
I searched for this album after having seen a Fredericka Von Stade video of the Moon Song on the Classic Arts cable channel. I later looked for the video on YouTube and found it there as well. Then, the YouTube posting was forced off the internet due to royalty and copywright issues.
Now I have the album and enjoy it immensely! Fredericka is marvelous of course, but there are performances by YoYo Ma and Itzak Perlman and some choir music that is absolutely divine. Seiji Ozawa is the conductor so you know it will be good.
Don't miss this one!
Rapturous intro to DvorakOct 29, 2010
By Stevan M. Horning
This all-star music video and the CD version will whet your appetite for more. Dvorak produced more music than his one-time colleague Smetana, and was more beloved even in his lifetime by his fellow Czechs as well as Europeans and the English-speaking world. Listen, view, and you'll see why. I appreciated especially seeing Yo-Yo Ma's joyful serenity in his solos and duet with Itzhak Perlman, and also FredericSmetana - The Bartered Bridea von Stade's soaring "Song to the Moon" from Rusalka. The Moravian Duet excerpt by two excellent sopranos jogged me, next time I visited Prague, to buy a whole CD album of the famous duet cycles, which I had never heard before. You'll get some charming atmosphere from the insertion of a few iconic Prague scenes in the video. If you like these selections, you might well enjoy also "Soli Deo Gratia", a well-composed video biography of Dvorak. I'd recommend also the Dvorak Concertos. If you're a fan generally of Czech music, you must acquire the classic 1981 version of Smetana's "Prodana Nevesta", "The Bartered Bride", featuring Gabriela Benackova and Peter Dvorsky; that DVD is readily available, and inexpensively, from Amazon.
