Highly sought-after performance of Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio, from the 1968 acclaimed recording.
The recording, which derives from a Phoenix Opera production staged at the Bath Festival in 1967, is conducted by Yehudi Menuhin and represents one of his rare excursions into opera.
The performers include such distinguished singers as Swedish tenor Nicolai Gedda and American coloratura soprano Mattiwilda Dobbs.
