The concert was recorded at Rolling Hills United Methodist Church, California, United States, on October 9, 2016.✻Janáček composed his great wind sextet Mladi in 1924 in the month of his 70th birthday. Also referred to as the youth sextet, the work figured into the period between the Piano Concertino and the orchestral Danube.This was clearly a splendid time in the life of the composer. With many recent successes, a celebration was held in Janácek's honor to crown the septuagenarian's accomplishments. Performances of his music were undertaken. Even a bust of the composer was unveiled in his native Moravia. Having thus achieved a sort of celebrity status, Janácek produced the highly original sextet for winds best known […]
