Is there any opera, apart from La Traviata, which sums up so completely in its opening bars as Rusalka everything the opera is about, and also sums up the whole being of its creator and all that we most love him for? (The question is a provocation, send in your lists).

After some distant mutterings in the lower strings there enters a melody that is the very epitome of unfulfilled longing. It seems to have been established by now that the source of this great sense of longing, which pervades so much of Dvorák’s most memorable pages, lay deep in his personal life. It has always been known that in his early youth, rejected in love, he wooed and later married the lady’s younger sister, apparently enjoying a happy domestic existence. It would appear, however, that he remained in love all his life with the original sister. Think of it: chained to a woman he did not love for the sole purpose of catching an occasional glimpse of her sister, unable to rock the domestic boat by ever saying anything. It is not surprising that he identified so deeply with the plight of the poor water-nymph who, having become a human being with all the aspirations and emotions which that involved, is compelled to stay mute.

And could this sense of deep longing be expressed more completely than it is under the baton of Zdenék Chalabala? (Example 1: CD1, track 1).

This was Supraphon’s second recording of Rusalka. The first, in mono, was made in the mid-1950s. Conducted by Jaroslav Krombholc. It had the same Watersprite as here, Eduard Haken, and Benno Blachut, most celebrated of all Czech tenors, as the Prince. The set disappeared from view after the issue of Chalabala’s recording and I have never heard it. Recent compilations dedicated to Blachut and Podvalová have drawn upon it.

(...)

The Chalabala set comes with a good essay in four languages, notes on the performers and, in a second booklet which I didn’t find till I had reached the second CD, is the libretto, also in four languages. The same translation has been doing yeoman’s service for both recordings over the last forty years; it’s a bit stilted (as my examples may have shown) but it’ll do. This is a recording which instilled in me a love for the opera which has so far not died; at this cheap price it will surely do the same for many new listeners.
