Biografia

Leoš Janáček, Hukvaldy, Morávia, 3 de julho de 1854 — Ostrava, 12 de agosto de 1928) foi um compositor tcheco.

Estudou em Berna, Praga, Leipzig, São Petersburgo (1870) e Viena (1879–80), onde foi aluno de Franz Krenn.

De 1881 até 1919 foi diretor do colégio de organistas em Berna. Dedicou-se desde cedo à crítica e à pesquisa de música folclórica, que empreendeu com Frantisek Bartos.

Entre 1884 e 1888, publicou o jornal Hudebni Listy. Sua primeira ópera, Šárka, era romântica, ao estilo de Wagner e Smetana.

Em 1896, visitou novamente a Rússia e influências desta viagem são evidentes em sua ópera Káťa Kabanová (“Kátia Kabanová”), de 1921 e na rapsódia orquestral Taras Bulba, de 1924.

Janáček havia criado um estilo checo com sua ópera Její pastorkyňa (“Sua Enteada”), posteriormente chamada Jenůfa. A representação desta obra em 1916 estabeleceu finalmente sua reputação de compositor. Entre suas obras também figuram as óperas: Věc Makropulos (“O Caso Makropulos”), de 1926, Z mrtvého domu (“Da Casa dos Mortos”), de 1927 e a sátira Výlety pana Broučka (“As excursões do Sr. Brouček”), de 1920.

No campo da música sacra escreveu a Missa Glagolítica, com letra em eslavo eclesiástico.

    Glagolitic Mass is a genial oeuvre, incredibly authentic inner memory of cultural roots, it seems we walk in 9th century, absolutely unrepeatable and original experience in music. From that point of view, the performance by Karel Ančerl is impeccable

    Which reminds me, I need to order the Gregor recording of "The Macropulos Case".

    I have noticed Gregor's "idiomatic" affinity for following those rhythmic arcs so well, with precision but in an organic vacillation. I have heard the words "organic logic" applied to Sibelius and now that I think about it the phrase aptly applies to Janáček as well. I will search for that recording with haste.

    My mind would've broken years ago if I didn't have friends and family in all of the major Viennese orchestras, I get free/cheap tickets and and access to rehearsals ever so often. /// You need to pick up Gregor's recording of "The Cunning Little Vixen", the vocal performance isn't as uniformly stunning as on the earlier "From the House of the Dead" recording, but the mixed (!) children's choir and the stupendously idiomatic playing and conducting are reason enough to get it, heck, the orchestral introduction alone is worth the price of admission: Under him each "sčasovka" has a life of its own, the rhythmic arcs Janáček traces with them emerge with such dazzling naturalness that one cannot help but marvel at the sheer organic logic of his idiom all over again. One of my desert island recordings.

    I enjoy Mackerras' Sinfonietta (mostly for his tempo on the last movement) and am partial to his operas (especially Káťa). I've only heard Gregor on From the House of the Dead. I think he adds to the primal sound that we need for "authentic" Janáček, where as relatively more non-Czech conductors tend to over-romanticize him in the pre-war operatic fashion, and in a sense lose that Czech feature that I find vital to the vocal works of Janáček (I mean, From the House of the Dead is ambiguously pre-war and post-war, and his greatest operas came on the tail's end of WWI, the Mass a Pan-Slavic work in an independent Czechoslovakia, another topic). Gregor and Neumann both bring qualities to that opera which elude Mackerras and Boulez, and I think it is most likely due to their cultural roots. Speaking of which, you are basically in a cultural epicenter and being on a student's budget myself I can only imagine the frustration, haha. Listen to that Bělohlávek "Brouček" if you have the time.
