Věc Makropulos
Leoš Janáček, the great Czech composer, created in The Makropulos Case an opera that ranks among the 20th century's finest. The libretto concerns a woman who has lived 300 years and finally faces her mortality. Sir Charles Mackerras, the greatest Janáček interpreter of his era, conducts the Vienna Philharmonic and State Opera Chorus in this superb recording. Elisabeth Söderström brings crystalline soprano beauty to the aging heroine; tenors Peter Dvorský and Beno Blachut bring character and distinction to their roles. Janáček's music moves between lyricism and angular modernism, his harmonies unsettling yet gripping. The orchestration pulses with life. A profound, moving work that rewards every listen.
