Viktor Preiss on the Radio - A Portrait of a Career

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The present study is an attempt at characterising the radio acting career of Viktor Preiss. The semantic analysis is methodologically anchored in Jan Czech’s monograph O rozhlasové hře (1987). The synthetic nature of the paper will attempt to provide the most comprehensive profile of the actor possible, emphasising in particular Preiss’ variety of expression in radio broadcasting. Since the beginning of the 1970s, Preiss has been one of the most remarkable actors in the post-war generation. Broadcasting has enabled him to render a series of protagonists from throughout world literature. When still young, he already demonstrated a special talent for managing the technically demanding profession of auditory interpretation of a dramatic character, and since then has matured into one of the finest actors in front of the microphone. A key moment for Preiss was his meeting with the radio director Jiří Horčička, who was fascinated by his technical command, genre breadth and voice flexibility. The present study draws attention to the actor’s development on the background of both social and political changes as reflected in the varying conditions the actor had to work under, but likewise in the dramaturgical transformation and in the art trends of the broadcasting media. I have chosen three out of many outstanding radio roles for a detailed analysis of his masterful performances, which Viktor Preiss produced over a span of almost forty years. They are the production War and Peace (directed by Jiří Horčička, 1978), I, Claudius (directed by Markéta Jahodová, 2001), and An Ordinary Circuit (directed by Hana Kofránková, 2005).
