CARMEN
Sep 2 @ 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM


CARMEN:Bizet
Original Air Date: 01/09/1937
Papi; Ponselle, Rayner, Bodanya, Huehn
MOD Audio SID.19360105
This is the third oldest Met broadcast in the Sirius rebroadcast series (Gotterdammerung and Samson are older). The calling card is Ponselle whose Carmen was controversial even when she did it. A memento of her in live performance is also available on MOoD. This is one of the oldest broadcasts to appear on Sirius, and there isn’t much Ponselle around.

Original Air Date: 04/16/1938

SID.20060214
This performance was first on Sirius last May when the Met’s bicentennial box of Wagner broadcasts was issued on Sony Classical and subsequently in MOoD. It’s not surround sound, but adding a major Flagstad Melchior Tristan is an important event. A not miss performance in any week.
