Notes:
Stage performance in Aix-en-Provence, 1977.
For the serious collector only. Sound quality is fair; picture quality is poor, with halo effects around red & other bright colors (and there’s a lot of red). Subtitles are in French. Will probably only be of interest to fans of Carreras or Cabballé – or Furlanetto. Raleigh is a small role & Furlanetto has very little screen time; still, it’s a treat to have a recording of him so early in his career. CD also available. View gallery (low-quality images).
