About

This series of DVDs features travel scenes accompanied by classical music.

The Places
Our tour of the Czech Republic takes us through the countryside, following the River Vltava to Prague, the capital city, visiting some of the great buildings that lie on its course.

The Music
The music chosen for our tour starts with the first great Czech nationalist composer, Bed?ich Smetana, who left a monument to his country in his cycle of orchestral pieces, Má Vlast (My Country). The younger composer, Antonín Dvo?ák, established a still greater reputation in music that reflected his native Bohemia in all its variety.
