Richard Tucker & Robert Merrill live at Carnegie Hall - Invano, Alvaro

[marcellny]

and george schick at the piano is magnificent too!

[marcellny]

merrill's e natural aperta en final'meeeeeeeeee'nte. is simply perfection.  the equilibrium between technical prowess, challenge and absolute beauty is achieved there. incredible.

[ShawDAMAN]

This is fantastic of course and nothing beats a high quality live recording like this. So great to hear the real natural echo of concert hall (listen to Merrills' "finalmeeente!") rather than the artificial reverb of a studio recording.

I still have it signed by both men on the original 2 LP's that came out shortly after the concert they both sang the same basic concert in Chicago in May of that year 4 mos. after this. The Chicago concert I thought was every bit as good or better but was never released. This was wonderful, thanks for the post.

[Ivanhoe2]

Staggering!  Nothing comes better than that in my opinion. Many thanks for posting.

Bravi!!

[pearlmuth3]

Yes I believe it still is available on CD as a friend bought it, I have it on the LP's and lucky to get it signed by them both.

[GermanOperaSinger]

Any way of purchasing the recital on CD?

[Chiliarches]

Yes, but it's OOP and pretty rare.

[tenorismo]

I belive this recording was released last year on CD I have it on vinal

[VinylToVideo]

This CD was released in 1993 for the 20th anniversary of the concert and is long out of print. GermanOperaSinger has it on CD now.
