Grace Moore also did a film with the great Georges Thill of this opera - Abel Gance directed and Charpentier was involved with the production, I think in 1935 or 1936. How she inhabited this role! thank you for this wonderful experience.
If only the sopranos of today would listen, they would learn that singing should be brilliant, not the current hooting cultivated scream as heard on the operatic stage today.
Whoops I mistakingly thought this was from the 1943 Met broadcast. I hope her rendition in that one is just as good because I now own the whole recording!
SHE WAS AN ALL AMERICAN DIVA!
an untimely death robbed the world of her vivacious talent

Did she ever make a commercial recording of this aria?

Yes - It was on the other side of her "Si. Mi Chiamano Mimi" 78. There is also a full recording of the opera with her which was a Met broadcast.
