Hilde Ceska was an Austrian soprano represented in the Pristine catalogue through Hermann Scherchen’s 1950 recording of Bach’s B minor Mass.

Her wider public biographical trail is limited, so this note is kept close to the recording evidence.

Bach’s soprano writing in the Mass requires purity, balance and the ability to carry line through a large sacred structure without theatrical excess.
