Release Year: 2020 Description: Death is never far away in Leo Janáeks work : in The Cunning Little Vixen, the main character falls under the fire of a hunter, Katia Kabanova kills herself, Emilia Marty in The Makropulos Case has to deal with the hard consequences of eternal youth. From the House of the Dead makes no exception, especially since the composer knew he was living out his final days when he decided to adapt into an opera Fyodor Dostoyevskys eponymous novel, a literary work inspired by the time the novelist spent in a Siberian prison. This painful feeling of ineluctability pervades through his disillusioned and savage score, that recounts the hopeless life of the convicts of a Soviet concentration camp. In this place where life has already drawn out, in this no mans land forsaken by civilization, Janáek portrays the anonymous and daily sufferings, the abuses, the corporal punishments, but also evokes fragments from the prisoners past, bringing them back to life for the duration of a game or of a story.
