I'm cheating a bit because this is not an all-orchestral program, but I
think it would be very enjoyable.
Janacek
1. Taras Bulba. A very involving extravert piece to draw the audience
into Janacek's world.
2. A complete change: String Quartet No. 2 - "Intimate Letters". Here
is Janacek at his most introvert and passionate.
Intermission
3. The Glagolitic Mass. Again something totally different, with wonderful
vocal writing.
This seems like quite a long evening, but the Mass only lasts about 40
minutes. I think a whole evening of Janacek would be very rewarding.
