Notes from Janacek's Diary

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

JanaCek's occasional writings contain fragments of unrealised music. Two girls chatting; an evening of peasant music; meeting Smetana's daughter.... For seven such vignettes,
Mike Steer developed Janacek's own motifs to create a musical 'sound world' in which words and music are equal partners.
With Der Shin Hwang, Laura Jane Rich , Suzi and Sefa Steer. Wilfred Gibson (violin) Texts from the translation by Vilem and Margaret Tausky Producer John Theochans
