ALBUM OF THE WEEK ON EUROPADISC

The new studio recording of Leoš Janáček’s opera The Excursions of Mr. Brouček, made by distinguished soloists, chorus and orchestra of the Prague National Theatre conducted by Jaroslav Kyzlink, has become the Album of the Week on Europadisc Classical!

“…thanks to the thrillingly immediate singing of the National Theatre Chorus (excellent throughout the opera), this performance is uniquely stirring… Kyzlink’s is the more detailed and incisive account, opening up warmly for the lyrical episodes but with a keen sense of momentum in the rest, and an unerring feeling for the work’s wit. Březina is splendid in the title role, not too hammy in this character tenor role, and the rest of the cast are wonderfully idiomatic. In the week of Janáček’s 170th birthday, this is a marvellous contribution to his music’s disco­raphy.”
