recording in December 1971 Marie Collier died after falling from a second-floor
window aged just 44. She never heard the broadcast which occurred in January
1972. Collier was a noted interpreter of Janacek, singing a number of his operas
at Sadler's Wells in the 1950s and 1960s. This was a new role for her, and
indeed it might have been the first time Osud was heard in Britain. The sound is
ok stereo, there was a persistent high pitched interference that I have tamed by
equalisation and the balance between left and right was all over the place - I
have tried to resolve that as best I can. All the commentary and the
intermission features are included. This is not from the Jan '72 broadcast but
from a re-broadcast in 1973. I can't find the exact date of that.

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.
