> On February 2, 1994, the Philadelphia Orchestra was scheduled to perform an
all-Wagner concert with the Philadelphia Singers Chorale and soloists, Maestro
Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting.
> The blizzard struck the area that day and a national state of emergency had
been declared. Many orchestra and chorale musicians lived in the surrounding
suburbs and could not venture into the city.
> It was decided that the show would go on. The solists were within a brief walk
of the Academy of Music and Maestro Sawallisch would accompany the singers in
selections from the program from Tannhauser and Act 1 od Die Walkuere. Thus
Sawallisch made his professional debut as a concert pianist in this performance
which was recorded and later distributed as a donor giveaway for the orchestra.
> It was a very special evening for the small audience that evening in the
Academy of Music, Maestro Sawallisch provided commentary in between the
selections, all of which are included.

> 1-Tannhauser excerpts from Act 2

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.
