Gott erhalte unser Kaiser! I know that one. Joseph Haydn also in his 'Kaiser-Quartett'. What a find. Didn't know he wrote a Symphony. thanks for the upload!
A Truly wonderful symphony. I was not aware that Bedrich Smetana wrote symphonies. Like many people who enjoy classical music, i am familiar with Ma Vlast and the Bartered Bride. Please, more gems like this.
Unfortunately, Smetana only composed one symphony before fully immersing himself in the symphonic poem My Country, because during the era of national revival this forgotten masterpiece was deemed too pro-German given its usage of the national anthem of Austria-(Hungary). :)
From Wikipedia....Dissatisfied with his first large-scale orchestral work, the D major Overture of 1848,[120] Smetana studied passages from Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Weber and Berlioz before producing his Triumphal Symphony of 1853.[121] Though this is dismissed by Rosa Newmarch as "an epithalamium for a Habsburg Prince",[122] Smetana's biographer Brian Large identifies much in the piece that characterises the composer's more mature works.[123] Despite the symphony's rejection by the Court and the lukewarm reception on its premiere, Smetana did not abandon the work. It was well received in Gothenburg in 1860,[124] and a revised version was performed in Prague in 1882, without the "triumphal" tag, under Adolf Čech.[121] The piece is now sometimes called the Festive Symphony.
Bruce McCrae I can understand your comment Bruce, but at the time this symphony was written the Germany as we know it wasn't "born" yet. Smetana wrote this composition to commemorate the wedding between Emperor Franz Joseph and Elisabeth of Bavaria, the well known Sissi. Bohemia, the homeland of Smetana, formed part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and as such Smetana used the Imperial Hymn as basic material for his symphony. And that was "Gott behalte Gott beschütze unsern Kaiser unsern Land" on an original composition by Joseph Haydn. Only in 1922 Germany adapted the hymn as Deutschland über alles.
+Arnold Goverde I'm somewhat shocked of what I read from you because I always thought that Smetana was in the opposition of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
In fact he was Mohamed, but to be succesfull as a composer he was more or less obliged to assume the situation. And one should nof forget that in the beginning of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph a lot of people were hoping he was the bringer of a more liberal rule. Smetana tried to establish himself in Sweden to get rid of the Habsburg domination, but in the end the love for his home country was to profound for him.
+Arnold Goverde +Mohamed Hamza ... I am not sure how much he was actually against emperor. He is a generation before the relationships between Czechs and Germans in the empire really deteriorated to the useless level. He was certainly very strong Czech patriot, but I am really not sure whether in his time it necessarily implied not being patriot for the empire as well.
🇨🇿 Schlecht gespielt ❗Es gibt andere Orchesterensembles die das besser spielen können ❗Die Triumphal Symphony wurde als Festliche Synfonie 1854 komponiert, als angekűndigte Zuspruch , dass Kaiser Franz Josef König von Böhmen werden sollte, noch wahrgenommen wurde. Am Ende des letzten Satzes benutzte B. Smetana die Kaiserhymne v. Haydn, die er noch mit zusätzliche Bearbeitung zu vollkommene Pompesität brachte.. 🤗🇩🇪🇫🇷
Das war die von Joseph Haydn komponierte ÖSTERREICHISCHE KAISERHYMNE! Die Melodie wurde erst nach 44 Jahren fürs Lied der Deutschen verwendet. Und Smetana hat die Symphonie sicher nicht dem deutschnationalen Lager, sondern seinem eigenen Kaiserhaus gewidmet.
Und nie eine Antwort von "seinem Kaiserhaus" erhalten! Er hat sie Sissi gewidmet, aber die Habsburger haben die Tschechen nie als gleichwertig angesehen!!!
NEVER HEARD THIS BEAUTIFUL SYMPHONY .
SENSIBLE, PRODIGUX ,MERVEILLEUSEMENT MERCI !!

Smetana un gran compositor que debería volver a ser más programado
La musica eslava tiene componentes folclóricos excepcionalmente bellos.
SMETANA FANTASTIC
Lovely piece of music. It's disappointing that it ends just before the 46 minute mark, leaving the finale incomplete.
Thanks for up loading. It's a rare symphony for me and maybe for most people as well.

The key of the symphony is E Major. The conductor's first name is Lothar.
Very, very underrated stuff! Triumphal indeed...can't sit still when it starts blasting!
A fine symphony, with an unexpected Teutonic finale. But am I alone in losing the last minute of the recording?

Bruce McCrae No, your're not the only one. The last minutes of the recording seem to be blank.

Lost the last few seconds of the 2nd and 3rd movements as well...
Festive or Triumphal Symphony ?? Sometimes I have read the name is Festive..
So have T. But I'll take Smetana's music any way I can get it. Moldau got me "hooked!"
Great symphony but terrible recording, several parts are cut out from the recording. Really a shame since it's a pretty good performance.
Ganz verdorben gespielt! Smetana wuerde schreien vor Zorn!
Gregor Koidl, da haben Sie aber recht. ❗ Diletantisch geschpielt. 😱❗🇫🇷 🇩🇪

das Stück ist unvollständig.
07:00 deutschland, deutschland uber alles?
Ja das Motiv des Lied der Deutschen wurde von Smetana übernommen.
Das war die von Joseph Haydn komponierte ÖSTERREICHISCHE KAISERHYMNE! Die Melodie wurde erst nach 44 Jahren fürs Lied der Deutschen verwendet. Und Smetana hat die Symphonie sicher nicht dem deutschnationalen Lager, sondern seinem eigenen Kaiserhaus gewidmet.
Und nie eine Antwort von "seinem Kaiserhaus" erhalten! Er hat sie Sissi gewidmet, aber die Habsburger haben die Tschechen nie als gleichwertig angesehen!!!
The Austrian National Hymn and Smetana's country was part of the Austrian Empire, so he used it to "curry favor" with the Emperor no doubt
Yep it's there
Seriously? A grand build up to 3 minutes of silence at the end. What a waste of my time.
Its bad played!
