Premiered in 1926, Leoš Janáček's absorbing masterpiece Vec Makropulos reflects all the dominant musical styles of the early 20th century, from Bohemian tunefulness to big Straussian phrases, Berg-like jaggedness and primeval rhythms. With the "breathtakingly grandiose" (Salzburger Nachrichten) Angela Denoke in the lead role, this emotionally powerful opera was given superior treatment at the hands of the Wiener Philharmoniker under Esa-Pekka Salonen. They and the entire cast joined forces to make this production one of the highlights of the 2011 Salzburg Festival. "Ms. Denoke is a compelling actress... Salonen ensures a brilliant reading of Janacek's fascinating score."- The New York Times
