Based on Nikolai Gogol’s novel, this ambitious work is thoroughly imbued with Janáček’s own patriotism. All three movements depict the deaths of characters, creating a deeply unsettling atmosphere; yet the content of the music itself is even more violent and sensational. While the opening, which is said to depict the emotions of lovers, does display a romantic air, this is only temporary; the musical progression, gradually moving toward tragedy, is unbearably thrilling. The Raschsko Dances were composed around 1890, during the period when Janáček began actively collecting folk songs; here, the lively music is set to extremely accessible harmonies. While there are no sensual harmonies, this music is distinctly Janáček in its own right. The Moravian Dances share this same flavor and might even be considered closer in style to Dvořák. Antoni Wit and the Warsaw Philharmonic perform these pieces with an even greater passion than they did on their previous recording of the Gregorian Mass (8.572639).\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Taras Bulba - Rhapsody: 1.
