Janáček based The Cunning Little Vixen's tonality on modes (similarly to much output during his last decade), expanding the music's harmonic range through the utilisation of the seventh and ninth chords. The composition makes frequent use of folk-influenced rhythms and "sčasovka" (personally-coined term for a short motif), while it has been noted to contain At Janáček's request, the final scene from The Cunning Little Vixen was performed at his funeral in 1928.

Performers: Sir Charles Mackerras - Condactor Wiener Philharmoniker Orchestra Leos Janacek (1854 - 1928) - Composer. Mackerras’s coupling comes as a superb supplement to his Janacek opera recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic. The massed brass of the Sinfonietta has tremendous bite and brilliance as well as characteristic Viennese ripeness, thanks to a spectacular digital recording. Taras Bulba too is given more weight and body than is usual, the often savage dance rhythms presented with great energy.

For decades, Mackerras' recording of Janacek's Taras Bulba and Sinfonietta has been deemed the best in the catalog, against which all others have been measured. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (VPO), which knows as much of Janacek as they do of Bruckner, played the works with authority and with real feeling. The strings are of real bloom and weight, the woodwinds crispy, the brass blazen and glorious, and the percussion mesmerizing. This disc contains selections from Janacek's popular operas: Suite from "The Cunning Little Vixen", preludes to "Jenufa" (entitled "Jealously") and "From the House of the Dead", and Serebrier's Symphonic Synthesis of "Vec Makropulos. This second disc is as every bit enjoyable as the first disc containing Sinfonietta, Taras Bulba, and the Lachian Dances.

The Cunning Little Vixen (1924). The Makropulos Affair (1926). From the House of the Dead (1930). v. t. e. The Makropulos Affair (or The Makropoulos Case, or The Makropulos Secret or, literally, The Makropulos Thing; Czech Věc Makropulos) is a three-act opera by Czech composer Leoš Janáček. The libretto, based on a play of the same name by Karel Čapek, was written by the composer between 1923 and 1925. The Makropulos Affair was his penultimate opera and, like much of his later work, it was inspired by his infatuation with Kamila Stösslová, a married woman much younger than himself
