About

Even though the international reputation of Leoš Janáček was first and foremost built round his operas, it would be regrettable to neglect his choral and instrumental works in which the Moravian composer gave us some of the most beautiful pages of his art.

Slavic soul - of that there is no doubt - he charms with his unique stylistic originality, nurtured on popular culture and folklore. Under the sure, inspired conducting of Reinbert de Leeuw, the Collegium Vocale Gent and Het Collectief ensemble combine choral works and purely instrumental music: From Potulný šílenec (The Wandering Madman) to the Piano Sonata ‘1.X.1905’, arranged by the Dutch conductor for thirteen instruments, by way of the famous Říkadla or Elegie na smrt dcery Olgy (Elegy on the Death of my Daughter Olga), Reinbert de Leeuw transmits naturally his love of the composer and inspires his musicians with an infectious poetic energy.

March 2016

Reinbert de Leeuw and Collegium Vocale Gent are masters of tonal shading: whether attending to top or internal lines they achieve a near-on three-dimensional effect…superb playing and singing combined with fine sound make this an absorbing, revealing and musically representative programme

3rd January 2016

This unfolding of mostly choral works demonstrates Janacek’s late genius...it is the imaginative explosion of the Concertino, written when Janacek was 70, that blows one away...The same is true of Rikadla (Nursery Rhymes), for choir and instruments — as bristling as ever here.
