Review by Tisha Lundy

Album Review: В Татрах Перед Вечером – A Timeless Classical Escape Let’s get one thing straight: this album isn’t just another dusty old classical record from 1950. Nope. В Татрах Перед Вечером by Vítězslav Novák and Zdeněk Fibich, performed by the Česká Filharmonie under Karel Ančerl and Karel Šejna, is like stepping into a dreamy black-and-white movie where every note feels alive. It’s moody, it’s vivid, and honestly? It sticks to your soul like glue. The first track that hit me was “Перед Вечером Идиллия” (Idyll Before Evening) by Fibich. Man, this piece doesn’t mess around—it grabs you right away with its gentle strings and soft woodwinds. You can almost picture yourself sitting on some hillside in Czechoslovakia back in the day, watching the sun dip low while everything slows down. There’s something about how the orchestra swells and fades—it’s not perfect perfection but more like… human perfection. Like life itself. And yeah, maybe I teared up a little because it felt so real, so raw. Weird, huh? Then there’s “В Татрах Симфоническая Поэма” (In the Tatras, Symphonic Poem) by Novák. Oh boy, this one punches harder than you’d expect. From the opening bars, it’s clear we’re climbing mountains here—literally and emotionally. The brass roars like wind whipping through peaks, and the violins feel like sunlight breaking through clouds. By the time the whole thing builds up to its massive climax, you’re out of breath. Honestly, I had to pause after listening—it left me kinda dizzy, like I’d been hiking those Tatras myself. What makes these tracks unforgettable isn’t just their technical brilliance (which they have plenty of) but the way they make you feel. They don’t just sit there being pretty; they grab you by the heart and won’t let go. Maybe that’s why even though this album came out ages ago in 1950, it still sounds fresh today. Supraphon really knocked it outta the park with this release. But here’s the kicker—listening to this made me realize something kinda funny. Classical music always gets labeled as stiff or boring, but albums like В Татрах Перед Вечером prove otherwise. This stuff is wild, emotional, unapologetically dramatic—and sometimes, it’s exactly what you need when life feels flat. So next time someone says classical music is “too serious,” slap this album on and watch them eat their words. Final thought? If mountains could sing, this is probably what they’d sound like.
