Gounod-Faust

A little known broadcast of the 1944 Met performance conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham with a stellar cast headed by Raoul Jobin, Ezio Pinza and Licia Albanese, never previously available to the public and released through the generous cooperation of The National Library of Canada. Good sound, together with the broadcast commentary and curtain calls, recreate the occasion. The attractive booklet contains a detailed article about the singers and the performance and includes rare pictorials, track-related synopsis and biographies.
