A bad new.  Fortunately I bought the DECCA (London) CDs (433 371-2) about
6 years ago.  In the Decca (London) CD, the singers are:

Josephine Barstow (Mrs.  Maurrant), Samuel Ramey (Mr.  Maurrant), Angelina
Reaux (Rose Maurrant) and Jerry Hadley (Sam Kaplan).  Scottish Opera
Orchestra & Chorus.  Conductor:  John Mauceri.

In the Jay CD (I haven't bought it) the singers are:

   Kristine Ciesinski
   Janis Kelley
   Bonaventura Bottone
   Richard Van Allen
   Catherine Zeta Jones

A "digital surround recording" (CDJAY2 1232). Duration: 146'

Dave.
