Sinfonietta For Orchestra

Album by Leoš Janáček & Pro Arte Orchestra & Charles Mackerras

Sinfonietta for Orchestra is an orchestral composition by Czech composer Leoš Janáček, completed in 1926. It combines bold brass fanfares, compact motivic cells and rhythmic drive drawn from Moravian folk music, and is a late-career work that exemplifies Janáček's mature, national-inflected modernist style within early 20th-century orchestral repertoire.
First released: 1st March 1990
