Does anybody know whether the Neumann studio Rusalka is online?



Supraphon recordings are somewhat tricky sometimes (maybe this will change with the new ownership). I can't spot this one anywhere besides on CD. I'd like to sample.

You might get at least a first approximation with this--same soprano and if I read the listing right, same year as the studio recording

Actually about 5 years later. And opinion seems to be it's not as good.

If you do YouTube, this is the playlist link of the whole opera:

Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Thank you, that will do nicely**. Especially as I just figured out how to redirect sound from my Apple TV to my stereo.

Bizarrely there are actually TWO YouTube playlists, and on the other one somebody has inexplicably inserted 3 hour-long videos in various places in the running order.

I'm not sure I can handle the whole opera 2 days in a row, but I definitely want to give the Neumann version a run. This and Mackerras seem to be nearly everyone's top two, but people differ as to which they prefer.

**So long as ads don't turn up TOO often!

All I see on Qobuz US is the highlight disc.  Supraphon has been reissuing their Smetana opera sets, so maybe the Rusalka will be reissued soon.

The only Rusalka recording that I have is with Fleming.  From what I recall, what I heard of Benakova's voice/singing I didn't like.  Just my two cents worth.

Beňačková's voice does have a "Slavic" edge, but I suppose I'm used to that by now and don't find it excessive in this Rusalka.
