Fantastic program. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Great lecture. Unreal performance at the end. Wow.

Wonderful talk. Witty, insightful, clear. A bit harsh of Janacek's wife, a real tragic opera victim. We tried to tell her story with his music.

Love your Piano Puzzler.

Just wonderful. May I ask where you found the journals he kept? I'd just love to purchase a copy for personal study.

Really great, but on the title when the quartet plays at the end, it is accidentally written 1828 as the date.

[@b.marsickova1945]

Thanks for the correction. Leos Janacek lived in the years 1854-1928.
