If possible, I would like to know the names of the artists in this excellent and idiomatic performance of Szulc's song.

Fabulous playing; she catches the important bass tones with the middle pedal allowing her to render the complex treble figures of this sleigh-bell like piece with absolute clarity. I own a Berezovsky recording of the preludes. I admire his virtuosity, but in this piece he does not have the color...

I heard Mr. Vanzo sing Werther at the Opera Comique in the early '70's. He was in total command of his instrument and made music in every bar he sang; formidable.

A great singer and wonderful recitalist. She recorded "To this we've come" and "Through the Years"; the Diamond and Barber to my knowledge were never done in the studio. Thank you!

I have vivid memories of this recording by WGBH, I believe in the winter of 1966. I sang in the chorus; Munch conducted four performances of this masterpiece, with great attention to singers and text. He had to be watched carefully because every performance was individually inspired. It was a ...
