Prom 50 - Janacek's Glagolitic Mass archivePart of the BBC Proms. For their second consecutive night at the Proms, Jakub Hrusa and the Czech Philharmonic bring to life the blazing fanfares, raw outcries and hushed humility of Leos? Janacek's unparalleled Glagolitic Mass. Inspiration for the work struck the composer in a misty wood. 'Its moist scent was the incense,' he wrote. 'I felt a cathedral grow out of the giant expanse of woods ... Now I hear the voice of each arch-priest in the tenor solo, a maiden angel in the soprano - and in the choir I hear our people.' Experience the power of Janacek's galvanising work alongside two other Czech masterpieces, Dvorak's fiendish Piano Concerto and a first Proms performance for the Military Sinfonietta by the tragically short-lived Vitezslava Kapralova, a sometime pupil of Bohuslav Martinu. There will be an interval.
