Frantisek Posta comes to the U of I

Here is another card that Frantisek sent me from Prague. He writes, “I have been happy with your class among you, Candy (my late wife) and all your groups”.

Frantisek Posta’s extraordinarily fine-tuned sensitivity as a musician carried over on to his understanding of people as well. He was an empathetic person not just a sensitive musician. I will never forget him!

Here is a youtube video of his performance of the Koussevitsky Concerto- done in the early 1970’s. https://youtu.be/OWytOJcjpao?si=8XtYMGWcZoHxLBEt This is Canzonetta by Vojta Kuchynka. This was taken from the Supraphone album I bought. It is a beautiful singing performance.’ https://youtu.be/susIow9Wodg?si=8zrXnsxy0RkrCI_W
