Re: Robert Massard - great French baritone
Hey that is great news Ralph. It will be interesting to know what titles he sent you and I for one would like to see your review on MWI. It must have been over 25 years ago when I stumbled across 4 imported opera recordings which featured Vanzo. Two also included Massard, the Chenier and a recording of Les Huguenots conducted by Henri Gallois. Everything is in French, which I can’t read, but seem to have been distributed by: De Plein Vent (National Audiovisual Institute). An interesting note concerning the Chenier. On my copy towards the end of the second act at approximately 22:34 Vanzo suddenly turns into Corelli! Be interesting to know if that is also on the copy that he sent you.
