Janacek's Sinfonietta from Los Angeles
In 1925, composer Leos Janacek was commissioned to write a fanfare for a gymnastics society. When he started working on it, his fanfare quickly grew into a full-blown orchestral work. But he kept the original brassiness: the work calls for 14 trumpets. We'll hear Janacek's Sinfonietta, from a concert by Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Plus, great Spanish music by a Frenchman: Maurice Ravel's "Rhapsodie Espagnole."
