A storm-inspired Slavic Mass.
-
We Say...
Leos Janacek wrote his Mass in the Old Church Slavonic language (Glagolitic refers the alphabet not the texts). It's a vivid and very pungent work: many people have seen it as a celebration of Slavic culture. Janacek's writing for chorus is wonderfully assured, and full of really vital emotional power. He paints the orchestral line with terrific sweeps of colour. He claimed to have been inspired by a huge storm — "It grows darker and darker. Already I am looking into the black night; flashes of lightning cut through it" — and that sense of drama shines through every measure of the work. Sir Charles Mackerras is one of Janacek's most faithful and gifted champions and he brings this work to thrilling life, aided by fine solo and choral singing and some terrific playing from this Danish orchestra. The coupled Kodály Psalmus Hungaricus is another winner from Central Europe, also rich in colour and rhythmic drive.
