This studio recording featuring the Nederlands Dans Theater captures a scintillating performance of Kylián's ballet inspired by the music of his Czech compatriot, Janáček. It is danced against a backdrop of the Bohemian countryside, created by Walter Nobbe, and expresses his emotional attachment to his homeland. He chose the piece because it stands as an ode to freedom, beauty and the joy of living, and the result is a ballet full of energetic exuberance, combined with some moving lyric passages.

Czech-born Kylián was inspired by the beautiful music of his compatriot, Janácek, to create this fluid, spacious, romantic ballet which has become a milestone in contemporary choreography.
