This double volume contains two masterpieces of the Czech composer
Leos Janacek. Jenufa was the opera which finally brought him
international recognition - and, with it, fame at home. Based on
Ostrovsky's The Storm, Katya Kabanova contains wonderful music
inspired by the composer's love for a much younger woman. The
scores are discussed by Arnold Whittall, and the background sources
are variously introduced by social and literary historians. John
Tyrell comments on an important letter about the genesis of Katya;
Sir Charles Mackerras describes his work as an interpreter and
advocate of this brilliantly original and dramatic music. Contents:
