CARMEN:Bizet
Original Air Date: 03/22/1986
Levine; Ewing, Domingo, Malfitano, Devlin
MOD Audio SID.19040533
This is the second of Domingo’s three Jose broadcasts the first is 1971 with Ruza Baldani and Robert Merrill under Jean Morel which has not been rebroadcast on Sirius he also conducts a Carmen (not while singing Jose) and also has a telecast with Waltraud Meier, available on MOoD. Three days before the telecast is his last matinee broadcast, also not rebroadcast on Sirius. I was not a big fan of the Ewing Carmen, but for a change this is an interesting cast despite thinking Deomingo was always in Carmen, at the Met he was not– his 26 rank well behind Martinelli at 74 , Tucker at 60, or even McCracken at 47; not far behind PD are Del Monaco and Vickers at 18 each and Alagna at 20.
