The performance preserved here, the work's first complete recording, dates from 1923 and constitutes the last of the prestigious series of opera sets made by Pathé via the hill-and-dale, or vertical, process. While it has not been a favorite with the critics, this 1923 Manon is arguably the most authentic on records and the truest to the spirit of the work as Massenet conceived it."- - - - 52003 - 1997 - Marston Records- Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
