Product Description
CD81467 SEMIRAMIDE - Carnegie Hall - January 10, 1983
Further to Ariadne 10033's "Donna del Lago" (and his shout-out in his message!) that opened that series of Marilyn Horne/Rossini operas in concert at Carnegie Hall in 1982/1983, I would like to share the Semiramide that I feel was the best offering of that 3-part festival.
It was supposed to have been with Montserrat Caballé and - I believe - Jesus Lopez-Cobos, but both canceled and were replaced, respectively, by June Anderson and Henry Lewis. To many, this is the performance that put June Anderson "on the map", and listening to it, one understands why, although her colleagues are also in pretty wonderful vocal form!
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.
