SOMETHING TO KNOW:
In the last decade of his life, Janáček exchanged hundreds of passionate letters with a much younger woman. He enjoyed a burst of creativity in his final years and wrote a number of works inspired by her, including this one.
SOMETHING TO LISTEN FOR:
In one of his many letters, he wrote that he planned to make the third movement “particularly joyful and then dissolve it into a vision that resembles your image.”
Recorded live in Alice Tully Hall on March 4, 2018.
