Introduction

This website is dedicated to providing information about the Czech composer Leo� Jan�ček (1854-1928). His most important contribution to the history of music was his outstanding list of operas, challenging and original they are, at last, becoming part of the international repertoire. With increasing amounts of vivid scholarship both his private life and his public works are being brought out into the open. A foundation for the preservation of his artefacts and writings has been set up; there is now an enviable discography of his works; opera houses around the world are recognising the emotional power held in Jan�ček�s work, however no specialised website for information about his work exists. www.leosjanacek.co.uk will hopefully provide this much needed resource.
