I have her doing it as part of a Fritz Reiner set(Sony/Columbia)--

but she also recorded it for EMI with Von Matacic.

While looking for the image, I came across what must be one of the weirdest double bills in opera

[Mandryka]

Thanks!  I'll dig further.

I have both of her recordings of it on LP (Thanks to a very kind friend of mine    ).

No, I haven't heard that one.  I'll make a mental note to check it out though....thanks!
