Dance of the Comedians - Bartered Bride Smetana Karel Ancerl 1947

Dance of the Comedians - Bartered Bride Smetana Karel Ancerl 1947
Echt Smetana!
Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra
Ančerl's remarkable control of orchestral dynamics, along with an exceptional grasp of both musical form and detail made him an especially effective recording artist. In addition to performances of Czech masters Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana and Leoš Janáček, Ančerl interpreted early 20th century masters Igor Stravinsky, Béla Bartók and Sergei Prokofiev. His 1968 Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 9 is widely admired.
As a conductor, Ančerl followed a recognizably Czech tradition and, along with Václav Talich, Karel Šejna, Václav Neumann and numerous others, he helped to create a sense of tradition and a definable sound world related to a definable sense of Czech music. Sharp rhythms, vibrant dynamics, and a strongly etched sound world were hall-marks of his conducting style. These aspects were most noticeable when he conducted his home orchestra - the Czech Philharmonic, but he also managed to get orchestras as diverse as the Toronto Symphony, the Vienna Symphony and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to also play with a sharp, distinctive and altogether Czech sound.
