Comments:- Recording of a performance in the Coliseo Alba, Bilbao (5 September 1975). According to the review in OPERA (November 1975 p.1068) Montserrat Caballé replaced Mirella Freni at short notice and «sang Manon like an angel». «The performance was supposed to be in Italian, but Caballé knew the role only in the original French, so the co-principals Giacomo Aragall and Vicente Sardinero gallantly sang in French with her, while the chorus and small-part singers stayed with Italian,»
