Neumann was a great conductor sensitive to the composer, with rich detail, beautiful flow, not over the top but still exciting, his Mahler and Dvorak are wonderful filled with power and majesty. The Czech Philo is also tops and make perfect pairing with Neumann. Thanks for this recording.
Thank you very much for this video; it's the first recording I've heard of Neumann conducting, and (I think) the Czech Philharmonic playing. Interesting to hear how a native conductor and orchestra interpret Martinu, with a lot of colour which I never heard before and texture different from the studio recordings of this magnificent work. Thanks again!
Wonderful to see Neumann live in concert with the Czech Phil. I have the Supraphon set of all 6 Martinu's symphonies with Neumann. His tempos in the 1st Symphony especially the 1st 2 movements are generally quite slow compared to other conductors yet this doesn't deter from full enjoyment. ( Compare this to the 1st Symphony with the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra conducted by Andres-Orazco who takes it at a faster pace ( especially the 2nd movt.). Martinu must be one of the most underated composers of the 20th Century . Less Haydn, Schubert and Schumann please and let's hear all the fantastic works of Martinu in our concert halls. ( ps were all the female members of the orchestra on vacation? I say that sarcastically. How things have changed since then)

By far not the best version of this symphony, but the sound doesn't help and it is moving to see Neumann and his Czech Phil
Not even a woman in this orchestra? Why? In XXI century? unbelievable
this is 1982
also at 8:51 you can clearly see a woman
