 Jan Vacík
Peter Straka
Maria Haan
Roman Janál
BBC Singers
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Jirí Belohlávek conductor
" . . . it was the irresistible characterisation of the superb tenor Jan Vacik, with his squeaky shoes, handlebar moustache and bowler hat, or the compassion that never ceases to breathe out of Janácek's music . . . With Jirí Belohlávek conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the excellent BBC Singers, Janácek's magical realism, his musical metamorphoses of animate and inanimate creation, his great twinkling night skies, all unfurled like a dream from which we never wanted to wake. "
Concert Review / Hilary Finch, The Times (London) / 27 February 2007
"The BBCSO's chief conductor, Jirí Belohlávek, made a persuasive case for the work, and the mostly Czech cast . . . sang lustily and with authentic flavour. The BBC Singers were the excellent chorus."
Concert Review / Paul Driver, The Sunday Times (London) / 03 April 2007
