One of my all-time favorite pieces of music—although I have yet to experience it live. The Davis performance is one of the best I've heard. How come the BBC doesn't release more Proms broadcasts like this commercially--DVD or streaming? All I've ever seen on the market have been a couple of Last Night DVDs. I remember looking for a disc of the Mahler 8th that Rattle did with the English National Youth Orchestra, but no luck.

What I love about Janacek is that there's no other composer like him! Totally original, earthy, and in your face!

@MoscowMaestro I agree wholeheartedly! I have Mackerras recording too!

@MsModernComposer Agreed! And Sir Charles Mackerras is the master in conducting Janacek. So fortunate that he recorded so much before losing his battle with cancer. What a gift he left us :))

@MoscowMaestro I must agree with you that I love Sir Andrew Davis' rendition of Janacek over Boulez.
MsModernComposer 3 months ago
@b286guy But Boulez was crap. He can't conduct Janacek to save his worthless life. I went to his Proms performance at the ROH - it was *so* bad that Deutsche Gramofon (who were recording it) kept the orchestra and chorus afterwards to do it all again!! His recording of HOUSE OF THE DEAD is a fiasco.
But DG are trying to get some money out of their investment in Little Pierre now that his composing career has entirely fizzled-out.

Love how Sir Andrew Davis makes the ending FAST! makes it more barbaric and more JANACEK!

Thank you so much; this is one of the most passionate, articulate renditions of this exquisite piece I've heard, life or recorded. Thank you.
