From my personal collection of private recordings, you are bidding on audio CD’s of a live opera recording starring the great American basso SAM RAMEY and the excellent American tenor KENNETH RIEGEL. Ramey was the great basso at the City Opera, following right on the heels of the great Norman Treigle, and would soon become a Met star and world famous basso. Riegel was a high lyric tenor with a beautiful, warm tone and excellent high notes. He sang in the major theaters in the US and Europe. Here they are together in the 1974 NEW YORK CITY OPERA FAUST, recorded in very good, clear, non-broadcast sound. Ramey and Riegel are each in great voice, and they are joined by the excellent American soprano CAROL BAYARD, also in great voice as Marguerite and a strong supporting cast. The recording is complete on 2 Cd’s, has complete tracking, is on-pitch, and comes in a jewel box (overseas packages will be sent without the jewel box).
