Author: John Tyrrell
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521298537
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256

Kát'a Kabanová is both the first Janáček opera to have been performed in Britain and the one which has received the most productions in Britain and the USA. In this book the author brings together letters, early reviews and other documents (most of them translated from Czech for the first time) on the opera's composition and its early performances. A group of key interpretations of the opera ranges from one by the opera's German translator and Janáčeks first biographer Max Brod to specially commissioned essays by Wilfrid Mellers and by David Pountney, producer of the highly successful Welsh National Opera/Scottish Opera Janáček cycle.

Jenůfa ; Katya Kabanova
Author: Leoš Janáček
Publisher: Calder Publications Limited
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This double volume contains two masterpieces of the Czech composer Leoš Janáček. Jenůfa 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.
