This is part of a collection of live "off air" recordings from radio broadcasts I have made since 1970, and I have recently preserved by transferring from tape to digital format. None of the recordings is derived from a commercial release, nor are they of commercial sound quality. No payment is sought for listening to these recordings, I am sharing them in the hope that they may give pleasure to other music lovers, as they have given pleasure to me. No copyright infringement is intended, please do contact me to allow me to correct the situation should this be the case.

For me, this rare performance tops them all. Jessye Norman in the soprano role is unreal.

Thank you so much for uploading this because I couldn’t find it anywhere, I really hoped it would end up on Spotify but that never happened.
