Of the recording, BBC Music Magazine wrote:
“This take on Smetana’s six-part portrait of his beloved Bohemia was a highlight release during the composer’s bicentennial year. Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic poured their hearts into the performance, which our review (Orchestral Choice) confirmed as ranking among the very best available.”
