This piece reflects Janácek’s memories of childhood and youth in his native Hukvaldy and the Augustinian Abbey in Brno. Kryštof Maratka, a Czech composer resident in France and a great admirer of Janácek, has arranged theoriginal version to produce a welcome addition to the string quartet repertoire.
Youth for wind sextet, is a masterpiece from Janácek’s late period (1924). Maratka has successfully managed to transform the concise winds’sound that give this work its unique flavour into the timbre of the strings, thereby creating a “third string quartet” of the composer.
