Opera in three acts by Janacek after the drama by GABRIELA PREISSOVA (sung in Czech) mono records (1952)
Jaroslav Vogel conducts.... a performance which wonderfully blends and contrasts the mixed elements of the score - its lyricism, drama, melodrama and rhythmical impetus.
Stepanka Jelinkova 'Jenufa' remains the loveliest I have heard. In that memorable artist Beno Blachut the part ofLaca finds its ideal interpreter.
