The operas of Leos Janacek
The Operas of Leoš Janácek presents the comprehensive analysis of Leoš Janácek's operas. This book presents a concise account of Janácek's extraordinary musical background and development as an operatic composer. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of Janácek's visit to the London Zoo in 1926, which profoundly influenced his very personal compositional style when he recorded the different cries and sounds of animals in musical notation. This text then describes the nature of Janácek's last two operas, which are characterized by emotional stresses, psychological conflicts, and the turbulence of text and music.

It is also a portrait of a lonely man who, ...

Leos Janacek
Dans l 'histoire de la musique européenne, Leos Janacek (1854-1928) fait figure de phénomène singulier en raison non seulement de la nature de son oeuvre, mais aussi de son parcours créateur atypique. Il fallut attendre les fameux triomphes de la première représentation de Jenufa (en 1916 à Prague, en 1918 à Vienne) pour que le compositeur, alors âgé de plus de 60 ans, devienne célèbre, ce qui provoqua du même coup un changement radical dans la manière dont ses contemporains le perçurent.
