Janacek: Glagolitic Mass, Sinfonietta Seasonal Sale

Description

Powered by Broadtime Tuneportals More Info:Two life-affirming works from Leos Janácek’s prodigious final years are performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg under Marko Letonja, it’s Music Director from 2012 to 2021: the Glagolitic Mass, both monumental and exuberant, and the colourful, multi-faceted Sinfonietta. The vocal soloists are Malin Byström, Jennifer Johnston, Ladislav Elgr, and Adam Plachetka, who are joined by organist Johann Vexo and the Czech Philharmonic Choir of Brno – the city where Janácek made his home and which he evokes in the Sinfonietta. This recording uses a 2011 critical edition of the Glagolitic Mass which captures the true adventure and passion of Janácek’s score.
