Product Description
CD91176 in memoriam: 7 short video clips with Milada Subrtova
In memory of Czech soprano Milada Šubrtová, who died this past week (2 August 2011) Czech Television rebroadcast an interview in her honor form 1982. It featured a round table discussion of the high points of her career with tenor Beno Blachut, baritone Přemysl Kočí and conductor Jan Hus Tichý, who was also Šubertová's husband. She was the last survivor from this group.
During the program Šubertová performed live Beethoven's Adelaide, showing unfortunately just how much her voice after more than 40 years of singing in public had declined. More interesting were the clips from older television concerts and films. These are what I am uploading here. None of these arias is performed complete, unfortunately, but it will give you a chance to see as well as hear this soprano, who all agree deserved to be better known outside her own country. The clips come from Les contes d'Hoffmann, Louise, La traviata, Rusalka, Pikovaya dama, Don Giovanni and Il trovatore. All selections are sung in Czech except for the Louise.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
