Album Description
Janácek's only mature comic opera includes some of his most imaginative music, full of jaunty rhythms and soaring melodies. The opera is an entertaining mix of satire and fantasy--involving a trip to the moon and a trip to the 15th century! Only two other recordings exist (one in German and both over 25 years old), making this a valuable and vital contribution to DG's extensive opera catalog. Live recording of the acclaimed, semi-staged performance in London from February 2007. The strong Slavic cast is led by Czech maestro Jir ˇí Be˘lohlávek, the Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. "Jirˇí Be˘lohlávek conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra with formidable passio throughout...stirring choruses and ricocheting brass figurations finally mark the emergence of Janácˇek's mature compositional voice and usher in music as daring as anything he wrote...It was all thrillingly done." (The Guardian, London)
