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 received a wonderful review togerher with the Editor's Choice in the December issue of Limelight magazine!
“Kyzlink’s reading gets it exactly right with surefire pacing that always gives the music – and especially the text – room to breathe. His understanding of the way Janáček’s music works, and especially his use of fleeting yet memorable melodic fragments, brings out fresh-eared details at every point… The Prague National Theatre has assembled a faultless cast as well, led by Jaroslav Březina’s thoroughly idiomatic Brouček… The orchestral sound is detailed, yet with impressive depth, while the voices are ideally placed to help you catch every word. If you’ve struggled with Brouček before, this recording might well change your mind.”
