THIS reissue of a Janacek selection answers a question I have been asked often: what do you go for if you love the earthy, folksy tang of Janacek's music, but you're not a hooked-on addict, a completist, or want to wade through the operas for that unmistakable Janacek electric thrill? Well, the Sinfonietta, not on this disc, is the obvious one; but this collection, with orchestral extracts and Suites from the House of the Dead and The Cunning Little Vixen, conducted variously by Vaclav Neumann and Frantisek Jilek, is a fine option, with the bonus of a touching little 20-minute Cantata, Amarus, adding variety. I love this disc, despite Neumann vocalising audibly as he conducts.
