Background: In 1880, the publisher Hugo Pohle was looking to build on the success of his publication of Brahms's famous Hungarian Dances and Dvorák's Slavonic Dances. He thus approached Smetana, who was well-known for his nationalism. The composer suggested a two-part work for violin and piano entitled From the Homeland, but he withdrew his proposal when the publisher insisted that the title be in German. Smetana dedicated its eventual publication to Prince Alexander Thun-Taxis, who in return sent him an ivory snuffbox. According to Smetana himself, the piece is 'in a true national style, but with melodies that are entirely my own.'.

'Canadian violinist James Ehnes is a marvel.' Classics Today. 'The sheer beauty of Ehnes's playing went straight to the soul. a thrilling performance with both violinist and pianist clearly relishing the extravagance of it all.' Birmingham Post.
