There's a chapter devoted to this work in "Janacek: his life and works," by Jaroslav Vogel, London: Paul Hamlyn, 1962, pp. 213-217. It's a setting of a poem by Jaroslav Vrchlicky, based in turn on writings of the Abbot Joachim de Fiore (d.1202). Vogel tells us, "...out of this muddled and rhetorical poem, Janacek created a deeply-felt declaration of faith in mankind..." Vogel also mentions that Joachim's work was "adapted" in 1527 by Hans Sachs.
Drei Kantaten sind von Janacek überliefert: diese hier (das ewige Evangelium), dann Amarus und natürlich Tagebuch eines Verschollenen. Drei expressive Mini-Opern, in denen die Tenöre schwere Sachen zu singen haben. Die übliche YouT - Schlamperei: man erfährt nicht, wer da singt!
This is not with the Czeck Philharmonic. Rather, the Vienna Philharmonic. Steude on principle violin. I have the radio broadcast recording. Best I've ever heard with Harnoncourt.

Спасибо за информацию, все-таки музыка Яначека нуждается в популяризации, она не часто звучит, хотя она прекрасна.

Any information concerning this rarely (if ever) heard work would be appreciated!
