This is NOT the legendary Puritani with the same forces from Philadelphia. This is the Carnegie Hall performance that preceded that one by only two days. How they performed the opera twice in just three days, at this level is hard to comprehend. The tape has some issues which I've dealt with, best as I can. There are a few moments of tape wavering, but they are only moments. I've left in a few crude edits that were in the original. Better that then hacking the tape to pieces. This is an astounding performance. Sutherland and Gedda defy description. Gedda!!!!!
