Review & Description
Janácek s choral works draw on an extremely rich repertory of folksongs and folk tales. The composer employed idioms from Bohemian and Moravian traditions, with their characteristic folk dances and rustic nursery rhymes, and on the recently published Moravian Duets of his compatriot Antonín Dvorák, to convey a mixture of emotions, forever shifting between cheerfulness and melancholy. Daniel Reuss and Cappella Amsterdam are joined by tenor Thomas Walker and pianist Philip Mayers in this recording of rarely heard vocal music.
