CD95993 Osud BBC Radio 1971
Hi everyone This is rather poignant recording since a couple of months after this 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.
