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.
Shortly after Mackerras arrived in the UK from Australia in 1947, a British Council Scholarship enabled him to study conducting with Václav Talich at the Prague Academy of Music, during which time he discovered Czech music and Janáček in particular. His breakthrough in introducing Janáček’s unfamiliar music to British audiences came in February 1964, when he conducted The Makropulos Affair at Sadler’s Wells. This release is an exciting, highly-charged souvenir of that first London production.
