I went into this thinking of it as mostly an opportunity to check out the Smetana Hall (I hadn't been able to find the guided tour tickets due to their mobile website not working properly - it's only later that I thought of checking the desktop version, and sure enough there were the visit tickets - WELL worth doing too for the other 9 rooms of Community House)
Seeing the very predictable, tourist-friendly playlist, I wasn't expecting too much, but I found myself completely engrossed in these ten artists' careful interpretation of these beasts of classical standards. These surroundings, their heart-stopping beauty, their nationally significant history and their perfect acoustics all contributed to draw from these well-known, (and maybe too-often trodden) notes a sense of freshness, with occasional glimpses, for me at least, into how it must have felt to hear them for the first time.
