On this day in 1824 the composer Bedřich Smetana was born!

Pay tribute to this legendary figure by watching conductor Semyon Bychkov and the Česká filharmonie perform Smetana’s poignant symphonic cycle Má Vlast (My Country). The most famous poem, "Vltava" (The Moldau), will transport you into an idyllic, fantastical, and mysterious world! ✨🎵 https://bit.ly/3SoUvwl

Smetana is among my 2-3 favorites, and Moldau my # 2-3 too; I live beside a river.
