Product Description
CD92115 COUNT ORY - Blake, Putnam, Ramey, Esham - NYCO bcst 1979
Digging deeper into the box of old reel-to-reel tapes, here is a performance
which was last shared on OS in 2008, but those links are no longer active. At
any rate, this recording is derived from a different source, taped in 1979 with
Dolby B noise reduction. This evening was Rocky Blake's NY City Opera debut,
and there are also fine performances from Putnam, Ramey and Esham. Two mp3
files (320 kbps CBR, 48 kHz) + this documentation file. Enjoy!
