The Unknown Teresa Stratas!



Hi all! This is a compilation of rare Teresa Stratas recordings! These selections come from a pirate LP of live performances (NOT a commercial recording). It was issued by Ralph Ferandina, who went by the name of Mr.Tape. He had an enormous collection of tapes of live performances, and sold open reel tapes and LP's. He went out of business many years ago...It was sent to me by an american friend of mine some days ago and after spending many days listening to it while riding my car all over Athens, i thought i should offer it to you too...

One year later, thank you from the bottom of my Stratas-loving heart.

and almost another year later: Thanks so much from me, too. I have the record, but since I don't have a record player anymore, I haven't heard it in ages...
She was one hell of a singer!!
