Janacek 101 and at a bargain price

By R. J. Claster on July 31, 2002

Format: Audio CD

This album is probably the best single introduction to the music of this major and highly distinctive composer. The recordings of the Sinfonietta and Taras Bulba by Mackerras (one of the most prominent interpreters of Janacek's operas and orchestral works) are among the best available, with very wide ranging sound that vividly captures the sound of the organ and bells (in Taras Bulba), and the powerful brass playing from the Vienna Philharmonic. The Lachian Dances and the Suite for string orchestra are early works, which strongly reflect the influence of Dvorak, and the chamber works on the second disc express a more intimate, quirky side of his individuality.
A final word; if you are turned on by the Sinfonietta and/or Taras Bulba, you should check out the Slavonic Mass, a large scale work (one of his last and greatest) for chorus and full orchestra, based upon the ancient slavonic (meaning that it is sung in the old slavonic church vernacular instead of latin) version of the Roman Catholic mass. I can recommend the recordings of both Ancerl on Supraphon and Kubelik on the DG Originals series, as both are mid priced, in good sound, and both conductors, along with Mackerras, are among the premiere interpreters of Janacek.

Everyone should have this recording of the Sinfonietta!

By Gregory M. Zinkl on March 30, 1999

Format: Audio CD

I am only commenting on the Sinfonietta. Mackerras is unexcelled in one of my ultimate pieces. The Vienna Phil would seem intuitively all wrong for this music, but Mackerras transforms the glowing tone of this great orchestra such that it totally serves the music. V, the mov't that makes or breaks a performance in my opinion, is overwhelming--as it should be. The wind soloists, notably the clarinetist and an amazing piccolo player, are exceptional. The strings, of course, have a wonderful tone, and a clarity that Janacek's music screams for (especially all the trills that they are call upon to do). The trumpets (a dozen), are well-behaved, and the timpani, again, incredibly important to this music, is well recorded--and played with lots of excitement. The final impact is not one of only excitement and a huge adrenalin rush, but of something deeper, a sense of gratification that Janacek wrote such a masterpiece, and that Mackerras recorded it for us. The other four movements are in this same vein of gratifying, white-hot intensity and beauty. Recommended at any price as one of the truly great recordings of the century!!!

Janacek in a can less the operas and mass

By Larry VanDeSande VINE VOICE on December 28, 2010

Format: Audio CD

You can gain acquiantance with most things meaningful about Czech composer Leos Janacek (1854-1928) by purchasing this London twofer. The performances inside are all considered among the best by ratings books and critics and they wear their histories well. This presents a minimal yet comprehensive look at a composer many think minor even though he has nine pages dedicated to his output in the 2010 Penguin Guide, almost twice what they offer Englishman Gustav Holst and up there with Russian Sergei Rachmaninoff's dozen pages.

Beginning with his famous orchestral pieces, the first disk features the late Charles Mackerras and the Vienna Philharmonic in the Sinfonietta and Taras Bulba rhapsody for orchestra the composer set to pen 1915 to excite the possibility of Czechoslovakia's independence from the Austro-Hungarian empire. Independence finally arrived after World War I in 1918. Ironically, by the time Taras Bulba was first performed in 1921, Czechoslovakia has been independent three years.

In Taras Bulba -- the composer's retelling of Gogol's hero with a Czech slant -- Mackerras is in league with other great recordings including the one led by Karel Ancerl, whose fire and brimstone transcends Mackerras's romance and the VPO's burnished 1980 sound.Read more ›

I agree with the reviewers

By Wyote VINE VOICE on July 17, 2011

Format: Audio CD

Seems like everyone likes this, and I do too, very much. However, all of the recordings here are available on a better deal, a 5 disk set that also includes a lot of other good music, such as the wonderful string quartets and solo piano works such as "On an Overgrown Path." So that, IMO, is the way to go: Janácek: Chamber Music & Orchestral Works.

an excellent introduction to Janacek's music

By A Customer on January 8, 2001

Format: Audio CD

The first disk of this work is an excellent introduction to Janacek's music. Although it might seem odd that a British conductor leading the Vienna Phil would be the prime exponent of this body of work, Mackerras' recording of the Sinfonietta is probably the best on disk today, though Rattle's is also good. I have to admit a personal preference to the Kubelik DG recording, but, to my knowledge, it is only available on vinyl. The performance (and recording!) of Taras Bulba is excellent, as well.
My own preference would have been for a single disk recording. The Sinfonietta, Taras Bulba, and the Lachian Dances are probably sufficient, and the typical listener is not well-served by the additional disk (and additional cost!).
