Martina Navratilavo was similarly Czechoslovakian.

The Suk Asrael from SWR/Ancerl is here on Qobuz.....
Listen to unlimited or download Josef Suk : Asrael - Krejči: Serenata by Karel Ancerl in Hi-Res quality on Qobuz. Subscription from £10.83/month.
and here on Amazon....
It was recorded in Stereo in the Hans-Rosbaud-Studio of the SWR Baden-Baden in May 1967.
Alas, after the death of someone very close, I couldn't face listening to the work (or any music of such ominously tragic, yearning character) so I never played the purchased CD ...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 18-04-18, 18:51.

Quobuz is still unavailable on these shores. Earlier reports were that it would debut this Summer.
I bought the Ancerl when you reassured that it is a Stereo studio recording. I am not averse to historical recordings, but after buying many recordings of concerts from radio broadcasts made well into the Stereo era that were in mono , and frequently bad mono (Salzburg, Lucerne, and yes, , many Beeb offerings), I’ve decided no more. The Toscanini Icon series, live recordings from the late 1930s, sounds better than many concert re ordings from 30 years later.
Asreal has been a difficult piece for me, one that I’ve tried to get my brain around, but somehow it seems to elude me. I am a huge admirer of Ancerl so here is hoping

Today, while retaining her American citizenship, she is also a Czech citizen, having acquired that citizenship in 2008.

Or are you only treating transplanted Europeans as those born outside the US ?
