Thanks for the uploads, CzarDodon. Very interesting to hear the missing bars in other movements, though (as in many versions of this technically demanding work) the soloists' intonation is often rather off from what the score shows. In this Slava, the soprano rather shrieks as she approximates the note. In other movements, the tenor is rather unsure - but to be fair, the instruments don't easily cue in the singers. Janacek pushed his artists' abilities to the limit, esp. for his day.
