This new recording of suites from operas by Janacek will prove a highly valuable additiion to the currently available Janacek discography. While the suites from the operas the Cunning Little Vixen and From the House of the Dead have already found their way into the conceert hall, that taken from The Excursions of Mr. Broucek is a more recent creation, having been assembled in 1994. This is the first time the world has been recorded and appears on CD.

(Supraphon 1999)
