Pros:

• A young Tatiana Troyanos delivers a red-hot Carmen.
• Helen Donath’s sweet-voiced Micaëla proves to be an excellent counter-balance to Troyanos.
• Karl Böhm shows the musical potential of this score when in the hands of a true master.
• This performance was the world premiere of the Fritz Oeser Edition which has since become ubiquitous at all of the great opera houses.
• The sound is excellent.
