My Country [DVD Video]

This tripartite classical release begins with the documentary Who Is Karel Ancerl?, on the life and work of the titular Czech conductor (1908-1973). It then includes two performances by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, each one mounted at the Smetana Hall of Prague's Municipal House during the Prague Spring International Music Festival: a May 12, 1968 rendition of Czech composer Bedrich Smetana's symphonic poem cycle Má Vlast, and a May 28, 1966 performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61.
