Information about the programme

Leoš Janáček once said that he remembered Bedřich Smetana the way a child imagines God. Smetana’s oeuvre was worshipped even by his colleagues Gideon Klein and Antonín Dvořák. Smetana’s patriotism shaped his highly acclaimed Bohemian style; From My Life also intimates his private character, and can be regarded as a musical autobiography describing a fateful event in 1874: “I am completely deaf and can hear nothing at all,” Smetana noted in his diary. He therefore deliberately wrote a work for just four instruments, “as though in a small friendly circle they are discussing among themselves what so obviously troubles me. Nothing more.”
