The tones, the tonal cadences of human speech, and of every living being, have always held the deepest truth for me.
Emotions. Cries. Words spoken by real people. All of these were sources for Janáček’s music. Perhaps it’s because his inspiration was real life that the music is still so alive today. It speaks to us, listeners in his country, and to people around the world. Immerse yourself in Janáček’s music with us.
What is the power of art? […] It is a string that resonates everywhere and which binds us all together. […] I wanted to bring together a quarrelsome nation, and I can say that I have not lived in vain here.
Preserving Janáček’s legacy and making it available to people in his homeland and abroad – performing that task is an honour for our foundation; you are also involved, perceptive listener, musician or researcher. Together we will spread Janáček’s works to all who are interested in listening – and hearing.
Hear Janáček with your own ears. Immerse yourself in his music. Find insights in his work.
These recordings, commentaries and background materials are here for you.
