description
The rediscovered magic of folk songs and traditional rituals in the music of three 20th–century masters.

Leoš Janáček and the generation younger Béla Bartók and Igor Stravinsky were major 20th-century composers markedly influenced by folk music, bringing it to bear in their own creations. Janáček and Bartók also keenly devoted to folklore as theoreticians and collected folk songs around the villages. Stravinsky, for his part, was mesmerised by folk rituals.

The three challenging works by the composers have been undertaken by Lukáš Vasilek conducting the outstanding Prague Philharmonic Choir, which on numerous occasions have displayed its exceptional qualities and a great sense for performing music inspired by folk art.

Works:

•Bartók: 3 Village Scenes, BB 87b, Sz. 79
• Janáček: Rikadla (Nonsense Nursery Rhymes)
• Stravinsky: Les Noces
