Alfredo confronts Violetta, insulting her with his winnings
(from "The Great Operas" - 1900)
Paris - 1912 - Emile Archinbaud (c) - Pathé 1587/1602
La Scala - 1915 - Carlo Sabajno (c)
Again, sides are missing from this extraordinary recording - a loss greatly
regretted, but not central to the historical record it provides.
