LEOŠ JANÁČEK Amarus, cantata for solos, choir and orchestra based on a poem by Jaroslav Vrchlický ANTONÍN REJCHA Te Deum for solos, choir and orchestra Simona Šaturová soprano Daniel Matoušek tenor Jiří Brückler bass Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno Choirmaster Joel Hána Brno Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor Dennis Russell Davies Janáček's Amarus 125 Amara, his first cantata, was written by Leoš Janáček (1854–1928) at the age of forty-three, after his many years of experience as the leader of the Brno Beseda choir. Vrchlický's poem appealed to him with its atmosphere (not description) of monastic life, which he knew so well and which was inscribed in his soul during the years when the human soul is most receptive. The Králové Monastery in Old Brno, its gloomy corridors, the old church, the vast gardens, my poor, youthful life spent there, the loneliness and longing, all of this was so close to Amar.

The rhythm section, performed by the energetic bassist Mira and drummer Menat, with a gong and Ludwig drums, will remind you why the airship was made of lead.
