Description: We tend to think of Menotti as an American composer who wrote his operas in English but these 1961 and 1964 studio recordings, from the early years of European television, remind us that he was an international composer whose operas were also performed in translations, here, in German. Fascinating historical documents, with a couple of American singers on hand too (Moorefield was a notable Bess while the bass Norman Foster has a small role in The Medium). English subtitles. Elisabeth Höngen (mezzo), Hilde Konetzni, Olive Moorefield (sopranos), Eberhard Waechter (baritone), Vienna State Opera Orchestra; Wolfgang Rennert, Armando Aliberti (The Medium). 4:3 format, NTSC Region 0, Mono, Black & White 117 min.
