From Mike Richter:
Opera from Paris was created by a friend from broadcasts originating in France between
1942 and 1976. The abridgements were forced by the limited air time available when
they were originally broadcast. Where only excerpts are provided, they are the surviving
elements of unique broadcasts. Needless to say, many of the artists are well known
from other work. There are even more interesting singers who were highly regarded
in France but who are virtually unknown elsewhere and who made few recordings. My
hope is that you will recognize in this collection the unique qualities of French
operatic performance, properties which have been increasingly scarce in the decades
since these broadcasts.

Clips with Descriptions
It is tempting to select highlights of the nineteen nominally complete
operas for these examples, but instead I ask you to make do with these
seelctions from the concerts which share the disc.
From 1947, we hear a portion of the finale of Faust
with Géori Boué, José Luccioni & Paul Cabanel. These
are artists held in the highest esteem in France, but little known elsewhere.
In a concert of 1956, Jacqueline Lucazeau made one of her very rare recorded
appearances, singing "Il est doux, il est
bon" from Massenet's Hérodiade.
Regine Crespin in 1962 broadcast was joined by Suzanne Sarroca in the final
scene of Der Rosenkavalier. From that, we hear the
Marschallin's monologue.
