This famous duet was recorded by Huguette as part of the rehearsel for their joint recital in San Diego september 23, 1975. The acoustic of the rehearsel room was quite dry and the piano was almost dead !The ladies sang Lakme on stage in Sydney, Philadelphia. Their first ever Lakmé was given in Seattle in 1967 . Decca made a fine recording, Sutherland was partnered by the tenor Alain Vanzo !!! A real french tenor, ideal for the part. Huguette Tourangeau was not in it. There is commercial video available with both ladies from Sydney 1976
