Blip13: Smetana's "Vltava"

When Julie and I were in Vienna, we got ourselves 5 EUR tickets to the symphony. Mind you, they were crappy standing-room tickets that we had to wrestle with other tourists for.

This was by far my favorite song of the night. I didn't know the name of it though, on account of running out of enough euros to buy a concert program.

I have been searching for it for weeks now. Turns out, this is a very famous Czech song. The Czech name is "My Country," and the English name is "Vltava," which is the river that runs through Prague.

I just found out that this is the song that they've played for the last 400 years to open the Prague Spring Classical festival, which starts this coming Wednesday.
