description
In November 2025, SOMM pays special tribute to the centenary of Sir Charles Mackerras (1925 – 2010) who was, amongst other stellar achievements, an outstanding interpreter of the music of Czech composer Leoš Janáček (1854 – 1928). At the age of 25, and over the next six decades, Mackerras introduced generations of London opera-goers to Janacek’s extraordinary masterpieces, and he was directly responsible for these works becoming established in the British operatic repertoire.
Our centenary tribute features the release of a remastered broadcast, from 1964, of Mackerras’s first London production of the opera The Makropulos Affair. Also included is Janáček’s quasi-operatic song cycle, The Diary of One who Disappeared. Audio restoration is by Lani Spahr, whose previous restorations for SOMM of works by Elgar, Bruckner, Holst, and Bliss have recently received no less than three Gramophone Editor’s Choices.
