This performance took place almost thirty nine years after
Eleanor Steber's Metropolitan Opera début when she was
65 years old
- her breath control and phrasing must
have been the envy of singers half her age.
*There is a small break in the song "Komm liebe Zither", possibly
from a side change on the original material.
