Domanínská recorded the title role of Jenůfa in 1970. It was the first stereo recording of the opera, paving the way for more recordings of Janáček's operas and for greater recognition of his work around the world.[3] A reviewer of Gramophone wrote when it was reissued in 1995: "Libuse Domaninska is a tender Jenufa, vulnerable near the start but also in her own way deepening in human understanding as the drama develops; and her response to the music at the end, as she forgives the Kostelnicka and takes Laca, is true to Janacek's soaring melodic phrases."[7] She performed alongside Naděžda Kniplová as the Kostelnicka, Ivo Žídek as Steva, and Vilém Přibyl as Laca, conducted by Bohumil Gregor.[7]
In concert, she performed oratorios and masses by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Dvořák, and Lieder. She sang the soprano solo of Janáček's Glagolitic Mass at La Scala in Milan.[1]
Domanínská died in Hodonín on 2 February 2021, at the age of 96.[2][8]
