Dear list: Among my most favorite opera's is Samuel Barber's "Vanessa": A wonderful gothic story, and some of the most beautiful aria's in American Opera (IMO). And so I listen over and over to the only recording of this opera that I know is available: Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting and Eleanor Steber and Rosalind Elias in the lead roles. It is of course a stunning performance BUT I believe this performance is now over 45 years old and I would love to hear another interpretation ...... Do I hope in vain for a new recording? Ed
