Felicitaciones. Hermosa y conmovedora versión. La orquesta tocó magníficamente y el director supo como realzar la genial instrumentación del Janacek. Excelente trabajo

[Janaceks_Dad]

This performance gets to the heart of Janacek...

(Also great music to make to love to...)

This is quite extraordinary. Hrusa has total command and cooperation from the Tokyo orchestra and must have rehearsed this just enough to have success without losing the wild roughness Janacek wrote into the piece.
Trombones are screaming, trumpets sounding like natural ones and he controls the dynamics of the woodwinds and strings with a shot of genius.
Hrusa is a bit like a Kubelik or Ancerl for our own times but will expand his repertoire at his own pace and probably be one of the greats of this century.

I will always remember the live performance i attended of this magical work in the Winter of 1970... The Czech Phil conducted by Ancerl in the Rudolfinum Prague. The atmosphere was electric. You can take Janacek to a non Czech orchestra but you cannot always make that orchestra get to the heart of Janacek. The conductor tried his best but the heart of the musicians were not in to this piece.

This is actually a very mellow reading of a symphony that in the wrong hands can get a bit out of control. I'd probably describe it as safe but that's not bad. I'd definitely send someone new to this brilliant symphony to this video.

Master Leoš Janáček lived and worked in Brno. Jakub Hrůša is a native of this town.❤

Listening because 1Q84 - awesome stuff

[martavdz]

It´s a good performance but those dead faces... so horribly depressing! I come from the region where this was written, and it´s a region of wine, plum brandy, chatting and traditional festivities! These musicians look like they hate their work, like they´re sitting at office tables. Hrůša looks like he desperately wants to remind them they´re actually alive.
