Product Description With this disc Naxos completes its acclaimed recordings of Peter Breiner's powerful and evocative orchestral suites from Janácek's operas. In very different ways, The Cunning Little Vixen and From the House of the Dead both reflect on love and loneliness, life and death, good, evil and the human condition, with some of the composer's most effective music. Warmly welcomed as 'refreshingly new', Vol. 1: Jenufa, The Excursions of Mr Broucek (8.570555) and Vol. 2: Káta Kabanová and The Makropulos Affair (8.570556) are also available. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsJanácek's Wonderful Orchestral Music from Two of his Operas J Scott Morrison | Middlebury VT, USA | 09/26/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the third and final volume of Naxos of orchestral music from the operas of Leos Janácek as arranged by the conductor of these discs, Peter Breiner Janacek: Orchestral Suites from the Operas, Vol. 1 - Jenufa - Suite & The Excursions of Mr. Broucek - Suite, Janácek: Orchestral Suites from the Operas, Vol. 2. There is much to love in Janácek's orchestral writing, as those of you who know his music know. The two operas featured on this disc - 'The Cunning Little Vixen' and 'From the House of the Dead' -- are perhaps not his best-known but each has been coming into its own recently, what with a marvelous DVD of the first Janácek - The Cunning Little Vixen / Nicholas Hytner · Sir Charles Mackerras · Thomas Allen · Eva Jenis · Tháâtre du Chatelet and the planned new production of the second at the Metropolitan this season (2009-2010). These CDs can give you a taste of that music without your having to pay so much attention to plot or singing; you might not like this Opera Without Words approach but there are plenty of music-lovers who like the opportunity to pay more attention to the music qua music that way. (Just think of all those orchestral opera synopses Stokowski made for these folks.) And when the music is as delicious, even hypnotic, and as nicely played as here, it serves a real purpose.
