Masters Of The 20th Century

Leoš Janáček, a Moravian born in the small town of Hukvaldy, amidst vast forests and mountains, is known for his unique musical language. His String Suite from 1877 is his first orchestral work and combines Slavic Romanticism with Baroque influences. Therefore, the music perfectly complements the preludes by Dmitri Shostakovich, which are also performed and pay tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach.
