Kubelík’s Czech identity is powerfully asserted with works by Smetana (including movements from Má vlast), Dvořák, Janáček and Martinů, but the box also includes Austro-German repertoire (Mozart, Beethoven Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms), Russian composers (Tchaikovsky, Borodin) and music by Bartók and Nielsen. numerous recordings, including early pre-war rare performanced with the Czech Philharmonic, find here their first release on CD. (Smetana: Má vlast - Czech Philharmonic Orchestra - 1937 among them.)
