RÈgine Crespin: Wagner and Berlioz Opera Arias
For those who want to possess every single TV appearance of RÈgine Crespin, this issue will not suffice. Only four items of the EMI DVD devoted to the soprano are to be found on the short DVD that is included with this CD.
CATALANI: La Falce
Although nothing is mentioned on the cover of the CD, I think this is the first official recording of the opera even if there are some pirates doing the rounds of the collectors (my copy is a Buenos Aires pirate). So this is not an unimportant issue of Catalaniís first opera.
