A friend introduced me
to the voice of Patricia Janečková. While I’m not typically wild about barely
pubescent singers being thrust into the concert circuit, her voice just knocked
me out.
Janečková is Slovak, not Czech, but she’s
German-born, so she still fits in with my Czech-German-French focus this year.
And while the “Laudate Dominum” from Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de confessore isn’t an Advent piece—the text is
from Psalm 116—it calls upon all nations to praise the Lord for his mercy has
been bestowed on us all, and the Lord’s truth endures for all time.
Seems like a good message for our times.
