G. Puccini: " TOSCA" ( MET, 11/21/59) Curtis-Verna, Bjöerling, MacNeil/Mitropoulos

This house wire recording has been around forever. My copy is from an early source from which I fixed some pitch and lowered a bit of distortion. Great sound. Bjöerling sings like a God. He would die just 10 months after this performance.
