5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, February 10, 2004
By Virgil Moojen (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Knowing this recording and reliving it in the theater (if it is a good performence) is one of those experiences one doesn't forget easily. Like Puccini, Janacek appeals to our hearts. The two principle women deserve all the credit. Söderstöm sounds very much as the young peasant girl deserted by her lover. Listening to Randova one hears that she is a great singing actress. The supporting roles are very well cast and one couldn't ask for a more dedicated chorus and orchestra under the baton of Mackerras. This one is hard to beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great performance of Janacek's masterpiece, December 9, 2005
Jenufa is the most lyrical of all Janacek's opera's. It is also one of the most dramatic. Eva Randova's brilliant and affecting performance as Kostelnicka brings out the beauty of music and the tragedy of the role. Elizabeth Soderstrom's Jenufa is beautifully sung and well-acted. Her "Zdravas Kralovno (Ave Maria)" is a bright gem in a beautiful setting.
Personally, I think Mackerras' reading of the overture is as it should be: loud and full of brass, like Janacek's Sinfonietta.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gran Interpretación de una Opera maravillosa., March 16, 2003
By Gustavo Chagoya Galaz (Monclova, México) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Janacek compuso algunas de las mejores óperas del Siglo XX: Jenufa, Kata Kavanova, El Caso Makropulos, La Zorra Astuta y Desde la casa de los Muertos avalan este hecho. Jenufa es la primera de estas y la primera además en ser escrita en un estilo distintivamente individual - su primera obra maestra- y la primera en darle fama fuera de Checoslovaquia. Esta grabación es la primera en ofrecer la versión original de Janacek, ya que desde la segunda puesta en escena en Praga, la versión que había persistido fue la de Karel Kovarovic, de la cual puede escucharse la escena final en esta grabación. En esta grabación se puede escuchar la obertura original, que fue retirada después de 1908 y vuelta a interpretar como parte de la ópera hasta 1959: Zárlivost.
Sir Charles Mackerras muestra el porque es el mejor exponente actual de la můsica de Janacek, su interpretación está llena de detalles. El sonido como siempre es de lo mejor, tiene el sello distintivo de Decca: Gran balance, brillantez, fuerza en los graves y agudos claros, en fin una extraordinaria grabación. La interpretación es excelente: Elisabeth Söderström, canta en mi opinión estupendamente a pesar de varios críticos que opinan lo contrario, su interpretación llega a ser francamente conmovedora. Eva Randová soporta el otro papel importante: Kostelnika y su interpretación es excelente en mi opinión. Considero que ésta es la mejor grabación que existe en el mercado y el punto de referencia para las demás. Si alguien quiere introducirse en este gran compositor, ésta es la ópera más adecuada, la recomiendo ampliamente.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only the best Jenufa by default
Mackerras, not an inspired conductor, has devoted himself to Janacek's operas and very honorably set them down in good Decca sound with accomplished casts. So far, so good. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best operas of the 20th century
This is really a brilliant opera. This is no belcanto, catchy-tunes, Verdi-style type of opera. It is a raw rural drama with sex, blood and deadly rage. Read more
