Two life-affirming works from Leoš Janáček s prodigious final years are performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg under Marko Letonja it s Music Director from 2012 to 2021: the Glagolitic Mass both monumental and exuberant and the colourful multi-faceted Sinfonietta. The vocal soloists are Malin Byström Jennifer Johnston Ladislav Elgr and Adam Plachetka who are joined by organist Johann Vexo and the Czech Philharmonic Choir of Brno - the city where Janáček made his home and which he evokes in the Sinfonietta. This recording uses a 2011 critical edition of the Glagolitic Mass which captures the true adventure and passion of Janáček s score.
