For Janacek you can't go wrong with the ecstatic Sinfonietta (especially if you like brass) and Glagolitic Mass. Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio Symphony shine in both. Other Janacek worth a gander include the Lachian dances (Naxos's recording is quite good although the other works on that CD are less well done) and several choral works: "Na Soladny Cartak" ("There upon the Mountain"--a brief cantata for men's chorus and orchestra), an all too brief "Hospodine, Pomiluj Nas" (a slavonic equivalent of "Kyrie, Eleison Imas"), and the transcendently beautiful "Otcenas" ("Our Father"--setting of the Lord's Prayer for tenor, chorus, organ, and harp). Some of the Crossroads (originally Supraphon) recordings of these are dandies--hopefully they're still available somehow. If you're interested in piano music you can't go wrong with Firkusny's recordings thereof (Kubelik conducts in the ensemble works). All told a transcendently eloquent composer with a voice all his own. Aaron J. Rabushka [log in to unmask]
