I always felt that early monaural recordings from the Met always gave one a better aural appreciation of the sound recording, especially the voice, than the latet stereo recordings where the voice always seemed lost in the entire broadcast sound.
@promptersbox that's means it's still some sort of rarity, if it was hard to find, and nobody made an upload besides someone human being a few years ago.
@@promptersbox Yes, JB dead at age 49, heart disease for a few years that could now have been treated well but not so Much back then, his excessive Drinking didn't help the situation either , Tucker the American spinto tenor died at age 61, still singing also of heart disease that he had for many years, since he had suffered a heart attack in 1962 at age 48 but he lasted until age 61 in Jan. 1975 and then suddenly died after singing live both Juive in Spain, just weeks before he died and several Canio's at the Met. also just weeks before he died. RIP.
I’m fascinated with the way these prompters work. Sometimes you do hear them sing the pitch along with the text. In this case, applause covered Björling’s entrance music, so the prompter may have worried that he couldn’t hear the orchestra. In the Tosca recording with Corelli (posted previously), the prompter gives him a LOT of attention. Singing pitches, lots of text. Maybe Corelli needed the extra help because he was such a nervous performer.

@@josephcollins6033 This one is truly insane.
Any in - house before 1960 at the met is quite a rarity. Congrats on great find.
@@Thearchivebeyondimagination Thanks! I’s not rare, but it’s disappeared over the years.

@ True.
Bjoerling's age was 48 here. RIP.
He died so young.
