About this product
Leos Janacek's The Diary of One Who Disappeared stands among the finest masterpieces of 20th-century vocal literature and remains one of the composer's most frequently performed works. Straddling the boundary between song cycle and cantata, this extraordinary vocal drama is based on a poem attributed to Ozef Kalda, whose true authorship was only uncovered more than eighty years after it's publication.A powerful ballad of sensual love and longing, The Diary of One Who Disappeared has inspired musicians, visual artists, theatre directors, filmmakers, and creators across disciplines for over a century. Janacek's original scoring-two soloists, chorus, and piano-already hints at the work's remarkable theatrical potential.This recording presents the piece in a compelling new chamber orchestration by Arthur Lavandier, whose refined and imaginative instrumentation vividly illuminates the protagonist's inner world of emotions and psychological transformation. Drawing on the finest traditions of the Second Viennese School, Lavandier's arrangement achieves it's expressive power through remarkable economy of means, meticulous attention to detail, and a masterful command of instrumental colour.

![Dvorak / Pribyl / Masa - Diary of One Who Disappeared - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c52dd4c5-4185-41ac-be26-7da3ee3a1419.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The reissue of the recordings made in 1978 and 1988 pays tribute to the unforgettable Czech tenor Vilém Pribyl's superb performance of three extraordinary Czech song cycles. The artist dazzled several generations of music-lovers in Bedrich Smetana's and Leoš Janácek's operas. His professional career was mainly connected with Brno, where he lived and worked for three decades. Moreover, Pribyl performed as a guest at the National Theatre in Prague, and he also impressed audiences in Edinburgh, London (Royal Opera House), as well as in France, Italy and the USA. The three song cycles are deemed to be the best works in the genre created by Smetana, Dvorák and Janácek. They are fundamentally different in terms of inspiration. While in his short cycle Evening Songs Smetana sumps up his lifelong endeavours and experiences, Dvorák's Biblical Songs represent the composer's intimate prayer and thanksgiving. In The Diary of One Who Disappeared, Janácek' depicts the story of a village boy who madly falls in love with a beautiful gypsy girl. The benchmark historical albums are as enchanting today as they were decades ago. An engrossing recording of three Czech mature song cycles, as performed by Vilém Pribyl.
