Thanks to Roger for this upload, but Mareknka was actually sung by Zvetelina Vassileva, NOT by Svetla Vassileva
A friend went along to the Royal Opera some years ago to enjoy a performance of Smetana's "The Bartered Bride". A cast of promising singers including Christopher Ventris and Svetla Vassileva was backed by some CG stalwarts such as Roderick Earle and Robin Leggate. > > The in-house recording is a bit distant but the audience is clearly enjoying the performance and I hope you do too. > > Best wishes > Roger D Bell > Lancashire > England

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
