In the 1970's (I do not have the exact date), the great tenor Nicolai Gedda gave a recital (broadcast) from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Musica Aeterna Orchestra was conducted by Frederick Waldman, and the French horn soloist was Antony Miranda (in the Britten piece.). Gedda sings the Serenade for tenor, horn, and strings by Benjamin Britten, followed by arias of Rameau and Gretry. (39 min.) |
