I created this video from the 1962 LP, "The Operatic World of Rita Gorr," issued on the Angel label, serial number 35795. Andre Cluytens conducts the Orchestre Du Theatre National De L'Opera. Images in this video are from the LP jacket, LP label, and from the libretto included with the album. The Billboard magazine advertisement for this LP is from the September, 1962 issue of the publication.

So beautiful...but I think I even prefer the recording she did with Georges Prêtre. What a rich and generous voice, superb diction. I have a great respect for this artist, also because she was humble person. Thanks
