[78-L] THE RECORD COLLECTOR. Desert Island Discs.

[Erwin Kluwer]

Allright more obscure ( and no so obsscure) my list would be:


Escalais: Robert Diable aria

Gabriel Soulacroix: Pour imiter

Mark Reizen: Boris Gudonov final scene

Stracciari; Rigoletto; Cortigiani

Friedrich Schorr: Die Walküre :: Leb' wohl/ acoustic recording

Pavel Lisitsian: Song of  Ventian guest

Bori/Schipa Boheme last duet

Anselmi: Amor tie vieta,

Erwin
