Montserrat Caballé: interview: BBC TV (audio): 1973: 1/3

In 1973, BBC Television produced an interview with Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé. She discusses her beginnings and early training, her operatic debut in La serva padrona, disappointing auditions and her experiences as the Marschallin in Glyndebourne. Interspersed throughout are arias from Tannhauser and Le nozze di Figaro (Part 1 of 3).
This was an episode from my podcast, "The Operatic PastCast".

Thank you!

Thank God for Bernard Levin. Very little interviews with Caballé in her prime, let alone filmed, let alone so intelligent, with 5 killer performances to boot! Thank God for the BBC.

Thank you for posting this. There are so few interviews with Caballé in English. I love to hear her speak English with her charming Spanish accent.

Nice of you to post this, Donald!

Certainly this brings back my memories of her glorious Covent Garden recitals in the '80s. Thanks.
