Commentary:

The Dalibor report noted that Miss Riedlová, a pupil of the Opera School of the Prague Conservatory ‘had an excellent voice and was one of the most talented Conservatory pupils.’ The source reported that she died on 17th January. The date of the funeral, whether 18th or 19th was not specified; the has been adopted for this event record. No composer was identified for the Czech funeral chorus; the ‘B. Führer’ noted as the compoer of the Regina coeli may have been Boleslav Führer but equally may have been a misprint and actually the then highly popular church music composer Robert Führer.
