Product Description
CD89284 R Strauss THE SILENT WOMAN - Covent Garden bcst 1961
I believe this is the first time this performance has been offered on OperaShare. The source is an open reel recording of the original BBC FM radio broadcast in 1961, which is shared here as three MP3 files (256 kbps CBR mono), one for each act. The final announcement following Act 3 has been retained. The English text comes through very well. All files are designated "Traffic Share" downloads, so members who do not subscribe to RapidShare should be able to download them without waiting. Enjoy!

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
