Synopsis

Product Description
The operas of Leos Janácek have been gaining their rightful place in major opera houses the world over.

First staged in 1904, Jenufa, a powerful tragedy set in a Moravian village, launched Janácek s operatic career.

The Excursions of Mr. Broucek, which had its première in 1920, is his most candidly satirical opera, rich in high jinks as the bumptious Prague publican travels to the Moon and back to the 15th century.

Peter Breiner, who created the compelling orchestral suites heard on this disc, conducts these world première recordings.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As usual, Naxos has done a wonderful job of providing a quality product for a very reasonable price. The quality of the recording and the performance by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra are excellent."
