Product Description
CD89852 Saint-Saens - Samson et Dalila - Paris - 17 May 2011
For history's sake, it should be mentionned that the final line of Samson in Act
3, which Heppner completely cracked, has been edited in the broadcast, where a
few seconds are "borrowed" from a recording with Placido Domingo!
