Someone requested more info about this recording. Lawrence Tibbett and Lily Pons sings along with Frederick Jagel. This performance much probably is from 28th December (1935) with Chorus & Orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera (New York) with Ettore Panniza as conductor. Naxos has published the complete recording that sounds really great! ("Inmortal Recordings": Ref. 8-110020-1).
Both singers are indeed in peak form even though the performance falls short of the marvelous Galli-Curci and De Luca partnership. Gilda was one of Pons' best roles, and Tibbett was a great Rigoletto.
Très beau jeu de Tibbett..!
