CD4101 Beethoven Fidelio 1957 Prague (extraits)

I transfered from old LP Supraphon the Highlights of the opera by Beethoven "Fidelio" with fenomenal czech tenor Beno Blachut and very young czech soprano Ludmila Dvorakova, exist in this cast only this highlights not a complete opera. Number of the original LP disc I donīt have, because original LP is lost and I have only this recording on CD transfer. Missis Dvorakovaīs is probably this recording her debut on a disc, Conductor of this recording Rudolf Vasata was her husband.
