Re: CARMEN FOR ORCHESTRA

["Harding.Matthew" <Matthew.Harding@CIC.GC.CA>]

Actually, I believe this really is Glenn Gould, singing the title role
of the dark gypsy in Bizet's masterpiece, Carmen. Gould had long wanted
to perform live opera, but didn't want to risk his reputation. So late
in his life, he quietly recorded this opera and it is only known
recording that has been released.

You should hear Gould's Puccini, it is to die for. 

Best regards,
Matthew

I think they have got the name wrong! Its not our hero at all. I believe
it
should read "Morton Gould"   (American compser/conductor/arranger, died
in
1996) Evidently an arrangement of music from Bizet's  opera "Carmen".
