Fascinating to hear a young Jessye Norman in this production.

Davis and the ROH orchestra perform with great vitality!

Thankyou for this Just wondered if you have the Royal opera Lohengrin from 1977 under Haitink or Parsifal 79 under Solti?

[@nir0bateman]

No, sorry, I don't have those

Saw these performances,the production was terrible. Norman better here than she was in The Trojans. Veasey a singer I admire is boring ,Bailey is the real saving grace. We can forget about the tenor. Good to hear again though after 50years.
