This review is from: Janácek: The Excursions of Mr. Broucek (Audio CD)
I am a big fan of the operas of Janacek and this is the only comic opera of his, based on a satirical novel by Svatopalek Cech . It took Janacek almost nine years to compose. The opera's plot is very complex but centers around Mr. Broucek very well characterized by tenor Jan Vacik and a number of other characters who are sung by one person. To me, the standout was soprano Maria Hajan who sing three different characters to perfection. Janacek is well known for his mastery of the chorus and the BBC Singers and the Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jiri Belohlavek creates a charming live opera that is a lot of fun to listen to. Janacek as a Czech nationalist uses a lot of folk song. The orchestral interludes especialy whe the action switches from the moon to the earth. contain some of Janacek's best music.. Like Osud this opera does have some flaws but the but there is so much beautiful music they are easy to ignore. Highly recommended by anyone interested in opera.
Please excuse any typos I have a neurologic disease.
