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. > > Leos Janácek - Osud (sung in English) > BBC Studio recording October 1971, first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 January 22, 1972. > c.
