Finding Ewa on St. Botolph's

Ewa
Thanks to a link on the San Francisco blog The Standing Room I've just found the informative, visually spare -and local!- blog, St. Botolph's Town. And thanks to this post from St. Botolph's Town, I now know of this video clip of the remarkable Polish contralto Ewa Podles (who makes her Celebrity Series debut with a Jordan Hall recital this Friday, February 17) on the blog Trrill. The clip is a VHS copy and has a few "snags." But don't give up on it - despite the poor picture quality, Ms. Podles is terrific. According to the accompanying caption, it is from the International Festival 'Wratislavia Cantans' of Music and Fine Arts, and was taped on September 13th, 1998 at Polish Radio Hall in Wroclaw, Poland.
