It's unfortunate that the original tapes of this performance are in bad condition, i'd love to hear the stunning E at the end of this wonderful aria in similar sound to the 1958 Lisbon performance. I guess we should be thankful it survives at all! The BJR set this comes from is of the 1952 Traviata, the last side contains excerpts from the 1951 performance.
