The Operatic PastCast show

Summary: During the broadcast of La boheme on February 4, 1967, a two part episode of Biographies in Music was aired, hosted by Francis Robinson about Scottish soprano Mary Garden.  He speaks of biographical details in his inimitable style and the listener will hear excerpts from Louise, Paellas et Mélisande, Carmen, La traviata, At Parting, In the Gloaming, At Dawning and Annie Laurie.  I have included the announcements before and after each of the two parts which play without interruption.
