[Machine Translation] Beecham had a wide repertoire, not only British works, but also many Russian and Eastern European works. Although Smetana's "The Sold Bride" was sung in German rather than Czech, as was customary at the time, the mood of the work is conveyed well. The singers, including Konecny and Tauber, are strong.
