“Let’s cut to the chase — this is a marvellous collection of Janacek’s major orchestral works, made even more appealing in this generous repackaging. Jose Serebrier is not a conductor one normally associates with Janacek, but these superbly characterised performances should help change that. The Czech State Philharmoinc, Brno play as to the manner born, their pleasingly pungent tone quality ideally suited to this music. . . The climaxes are awesomely expansive. Strongly recommended” —Andrew Farach-Colton, GRAMOPHONE “Serebrier’s synthesis (of THE MAKROPULOS CASE) positively seethes with interest for the ear” —Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International “The unique power of Janacek’s scoring comes through wonderfully well. This is an important addition to the Janacek discography” —Bauman, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE “Brno’s Stadion Hall provides the ideal venue for this magnificently recorded disc. Yet again, RR’s Keith Johnson stakes his claim as one of the best engineers in the business, providing sound quality so natural, so right, so effortless that it is easy to forget we are listening to a recording” —Terry Williams, CLASSIC CD
