If a couple of words can sum it up, when you hear this music you would
recognize its composer right off the bat.  I have a Supraphonet disc,
11 1115-2 (AAD,1989) containing 5 Smetana Dances ("from the 2nd series",
The Festive Symphony and 6 Polkas plus selections from The Bartered Bride.
Frantisek Jilek conducts The Brno State Philharmonic Orchestra in the
Dances and Polkas.  Regards,

Norman
