Orch. suites from Janacek operas, vol. 2 (Naxos)
« on: May 07, 2009, 09:07:57 PM »
I'm listening to volume 2 of the "orchestral suites" from Janacek operas on the Naxos label, arranged and conducted by Peter Breiner (New Zealand Sym. Orch.). This volume covers "Kat'a Kabanova" and "The Makropulos Affair". The first volume covered "Jenufa" and "The Adventures Of Mr. Broucek". I love Janacek's music, and enjoy listening to his lush and colorful orchestrations in encapsulated form, sans shrieking tenors (his tenor writing is so brutal!). Check these out if you're curious. Naxos makes it cheap to experiment.
