I FELL IN LOVE WITH JANACEK AFTER WATCHING THE FAMOUS NYCO PRODUCTION OF "THE CUNNING LITTLE VIXEN" WITH SETS BY MAURICE SENDAK. ON RECORDS, THIS MUSIC BELONGS TO ELIZABETH SODERSTROM AND SIR CHARLES MACKERRAS. THIS BOXED SET OFFERS 5 DEFINITIVE RECORDINGS OF JANACEK'S MOST FAMOUS OPERAS. THE CASTS INCLUDE OTHER JANACEK SPECIALISTS SUCH AS LUCIA POPP, EVA RANDOVA AND WIESLAV OCHMAN. THE ONLY DRAWBACK, THERE ARE NO LIBRETTI, ONLY PLOT SUMMARIES (THUS THE COMPLAINT BY THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER)
NEVERTHELESS, YOU WILL NOT GET A MORE IDIOMATIC, VIVID RECORDING OF THESE OPERAS THAN WHAT MACKERRAS HAS TO OFFER. JUST LAY BACK AND ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mister Music, December 20, 2007

Leos Janacek. Good music writing. Good writing for human voices. Dramatic, emotional singing. I have no idea what there saying, but I know just what they mean. The lady especially. She sing like she about to come out of her bodice. I only sample this music, but it almost scorch the hairs right out of my ears. When I save up enough moneys then I buy it. The cheap one for 43 dollar new and used. I dubs that one. Okay? Dont you buy it. Okay?
