\\xa0 Tears came to my ancient eyes this morning as I made this 1966 Andrea Chenier podcast.\\xa0 It brought back so many memories of my misspent youth and what Renata Tebaldi meant to us personally, and even though I go faithfully to the Met, they do not scream and carry on like this, because the "bigger-than-life" sounds of Tebaldi and Corelli just do not exist. Anselmo Colzani is the Gerard, with Raymond Michalski as Mathieu, William Walker as Roucher, and Andrea Velis as Incredibile. Lamberto Gardelli\\xa0 conducts. (73 min.)

Ovations are cut on this tape, but I have heard it uncut and they go on forever!!!
