4.0 out of 5 stars humble opinion of a music student, July 1, 2004

By A Customer

It was brilliant to use the music of Leo Janacek as the score of this fantastic film. It gives a great feeling of the country and its people. The performances on this soundtrack could be better, but the occasional coarseness - that sometimes annoys me - suits the movie. The two songs shouldn't be next to all that great repertoire, but they are a part of the soundtrack...While I wouldn't compare Debussy and Satie with Janacek as they are completely different, I do agree that it's worth listening to!

5.0 out of 5 stars none, February 12, 2005

By	jude (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

The Janacek on this is the best available on compact disc.
The version of Hey Jude---a plodding, overrated song to begin with---is absolutely god-awful; akin to nails on a chalkboard to this beautiful album.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for the janacek, anyway..., February 17, 2001

By	xmasthecat "xmasthecat" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

i have to disagree with the last review in that if I could take the version of hey Jude off, plus Joj Joj Joj, I would in a second. they stick out sorely and are unlike the rest of the album, which introduced me to janacek, for which I'm forever grateful. the piano songs in particular rank up there for me with Debussy's solo piano work, and Erik Satie's. evocative, delicate, melodious, accessible; just gorgeous. the versions here seem good to me - I'm no expert, but they are better than the versions on the janacek CD this album led me to buy.
