Glagolitic Mass / Sinfonietta
Album by Leoš Janáček & Gabriela Beňačková & Felicity Palmer & Gary Lakes & Anatoly Ivanovich Kocherga & London Symphony Chorus & London Symphony Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas
Glagolitic Mass / Sinfonietta is a recorded album of works by Czech composer Leoš Janáček, both composed in 1926. The pairing contrasts a large-scale, Slavonic-chant-influenced choral mass with a vigorous, brass-heavy orchestral sinfonietta, exemplifying Janáček's late-period emphasis on folk-derived motifs, bold rhythmic language and inventive orchestration that situates these pieces as key works of his late output and of early 20th-century Czech music history.
First released: 14th July 1992
