Recensie

Meer dan bij welke andere nationalistische componist vormen aspecten van de volksmuziek een geïntegreerd onderdeel van de componeerstijl Leos Janáček. Voorbeelden te over zoals zijn laatste en waarschijnlijk bekendste orkestwerk de Sinfonietta. Beroemd om zijn opening met een brutale fanfare. Later werd dit werk opgedragen als een eerbetoon aan de stad Brno waar Janáček sinds zijn studietijd altijd heeft gewoond.

En dan de Capriccio met een heerlijk eigenzinnige instrumentatie voor piano linkerhand, fluit/piccolo, trompetten, trombones en tenor tuba. Jean-Efflam Hakim is formidabel wat betreft techniek en interpretatieve flair in het solo deel.

De onlangs door Sir Charles Mackerras gerestaureerde opvallende originele orkestratie van de "Vixen" suite (Janáček's opera uit 1923) voltooit deze opwindende schijf.

Het Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra onder directie van Edward Gardner is een perfect samenhangend geheel.


Janáček: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1

Sinfonietta
Capriccio for piano (left hand) & chamber ensemble, JW VII/12 'Vzdor'
Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano)
The Cunning Little Vixen - Suite
Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Edward Gardner

Edward Gardner conducts the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in the opening volume in their series devoted to orchestral works by Leoš Janáček. It features three pieces that originate in Janáček’s late period, when his passionate feelings for Kamila Stösslová, thirty-seven years his junior, inspired an extraordinary flowering of his creative genius.

The Sinfonietta is one of Janáček’s most successful and popular works, famed for its opening movement, a brazen fanfare scored for a phalanx of brass with timpani. The remaining four movements, full of character, celebrate Janáček’s adopted town of Brno, blending occasional reflection with high-voltage exuberance.

Scored unusually for left-hand piano and an ensemble of brass and flute, the Capriccio is remarkable even among Janáček’s distinctive late works. Its overall effect is mercurial and capricious, in the composer’s words: ‘whimsical, all wilfulness and witticisms’. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet employs his formidable technique and interpretative flair in the solo part.

The Cunning Little Vixen, Janáček’s opera from 1923, was not universally well received at first. A number of its orchestral interludes, however, were immediately popular and after Janáček’s death in 1928 Václav Talich, a leading Czech conductor, extracted an orchestral suite, re-orchestrated by two young colleagues. Recently Sir Charles Mackerras restored Janáček’s striking original orchestration, the version recorded here.
