CD87615 Idomeneo ROH CG 1978 Burrows/Baker/Kenny
In 1978 the BBC broadcast a stunning performance from Covent Garden of
"Idomeneo", incredibly its first ever run of performances in the theatre. It had
an immensely strong cast and the singing ( and breathing !) of Stuart Burrows in
the title role is just stunning. Janet Baker and Yvonne Kenny are his equal.
This is my recording of the broadcast, with an apology for the very infrequent
slight drop-outs on the tape,
