On this date, the maestro led an interesting international cast, with the great French baritone Martial Singher (a Pelléas praised for exemplary style) joined by Jarmila Novotna, Margaret Harshaw, Lawrence Tibbett and Nicola Moscona. 1953: “I thought it was an outstanding performance of the opera, much better than others I have seen elsewhere, but I must admit I absolutely hated the work, both the words and the music.” So went the candor of GM Rudolf Bing in 5000 Nights at the Opera, on Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress.
