	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts features \| Tracing Janacek's roots
		Janacek sung in Czech by Czechs has a special impact; this is not surprising, given Janacek's obsession with the way the spoken language sounds and the way in which it influences composed music.
		Two evenings later, we were in Janacek's home village of Huckvaldy, surrounded by the wooded hills he loved so much, the 500-year-old lime trees, the old castle on the hilltop about which he lyricised, clean air and bright sunshine that seemed to give him creative energy.
		To look for Janacek is to tussle with contradictions: he was impulsive yet considerate; intuitive yet calculating; a fantasist and a realist; a superb psychologist of women on the stage, yet a disastrous one with the women in his life.

		The Czech composer Janacek was born in Hukvaldy in Moravia on 3rd July 1854.
		Janacek aspired to independence from the influence of the Austro-hungarian empire, and this too had a pervasive influence on his oeuvre.
		of Janacek's opera, 'Jeji Pastorkyna' ('Her Foster-Daughter'), which had created a sensation in the composer's native land, and awakened a sharp controversy because for the first time since the 'sixties the Smetana tradition had been broken by a new operatic ideal and a complete change of form and musical speech.

	Leos Janacek
		He largely abandoned the number opera, integrated folksong firmly into his music and formulated a theory of 'speech-melody', based on the natural rhythms and the rise and fall of the Czech language, which was to influence all his ensuing works and give them a particular colour through their jagged rhythms and lines.
		Janacek's reputation outside Czechoslovakia and German-speaking countries was first made as an instrumental composer.
		He has since come to be regarded not only as a Czech composer worthy to be ranked with Smetana and Dvorak, but also as one of the most substantial and original opera composers of the 20th century.

	Encore: Janacek's great opera "Jenufa" - still fresh a hundred years on - 15-02-2004 - Radio Prague
		The centenary was marked in style last month with an international Janacek Festival in Brno, the capital of Moravia, the eastern part of the Czech Republic, where Janacek lived and worked nearly all his life, and where the opera was first performed in January 1904.
		At the time when "Jenufa" was premiered, Janacek was already fifty, directing the organ-school that he had founded in Brno twenty years earlier, but Jenufa marked the beginning of one of the most extraordinary second flowerings in the history of music, and the launch of Janacek's international reputation.
		In its plot, the opera is based on a play by Janacek's contemporary Gabriela Preissova, who was a strong proponent of social realism; here she deals with a subject that was very modern for the time, the status of women in the conservative society of rural Moravia.

		The recordings of the Sinfonietta and Taras Bulba by Mackerras (one of the most prominent interpreters of Janacek's operas and orchestral works) are among the best available, with very wide ranging sound that vividly captures the sound of the organ and bells (in Taras Bulba), and the powerful brass playing from the Vienna Philharmonic.
		The Lachian Dances and the Suite for string orchestra are early works, which strongly reflect the influence of Dvorak, and the chamber works on the second disc express a more intimate, quirky side of his individuality.
		The strings, of course, have a wonderful tone, and a clarity that Janacek's music screams for (especially all the trills that they are call upon to do).

		Janacek (1854-1928) was fascinated with regional Czech folk dialect and successfully incorporated many of its patterns into his music.
		But while Tolstoy's text seemed to sympathize with the husband, Janacek's score leans in favor of the woman.
		"Intimate Letters" (1928), Janacek's second and final quartet, overflows with the undisguised love that the composer held for Kamila Stosslova, a married woman 38 years his junior, to whom he wrote over 700 letters.
