In fact a lot of people like both versions and different conductors approaches. Indeed I can't imagine serious Janacek fans not wanting bto learn from the differences. <br />Doundou Tchilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469682216179706743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-82463335496728263172014-07-26T12:59:52.899+01:002014-07-26T12:59:52.899+01:00I have to disagree regarding the 'reconstructi...I have to disagree regarding the 'reconstruction' of the Glagolitic. I much prefer the modern version, have several different CDs and have also heard it live..the last time in 2011 at the Proms. I found this 'reconstruction' constantly jarred and fervently wished I had not gone. Compared to the soloists in 2011, I found the soloists in this performance, with the exception of the bass, sadly lacking. The soprano particularly screechy and with too much vibrato.<br /><br />I thought that maybe it was because of where I was sitting and so listened again to the re-broadcast the next day. I lasted ten minutes before I turned off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910098091335165557noreply@blogger.com
