In Vienna on June 12, 1960, noted collector Roger Gross personally recorded an interview with American soprano Teresa Stich-Randall. She talks about her studies, singing Nanetta in Falstaff with Toscanini, her Fulbright-sponsored trip to Europe and subsequently being heard in Salzburg and signing a contract with The Vienna State Opera debuting as Pamina. She talks at length about her experiences at the Aix-en-Provence Festival, acting vs. singing and her concert career. I have inserted excerpts from Falstaff, Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni.
