The 1964 D'Oyly Carte Trial By Jury
D'Oyly Carte Opera Chorus Recorded in August, 1963 |
|
This Trial was recorded with an "all-star" cast. Excepting Round and Raffell, none of these singers would have appeared in stage performances of the time. The idea, clearly, was to make the recording more saleable by casting D'Oyly Carte's best-known performers. This succeeded artistically too, as the recording is extremely enjoyable.
