11 is Agnes Baltsa and Placido Domingo, I think
Baltsa correct, well done pw. Not Domingo 11. Agnes Baltsa + ? It looks like Carreras. |

Not Bernstein pw. See how young Karajan is.
IGI is correct with 11. Agnes Baltsa and Jose Carreras
that slight beard makes him look older. There is another, colour, photo of them I'll dig out (which chopped off half of Karajan), they worked on Carmen.

And a super recording it is, although I could have done without the recits spoken by actors instead of the singers themselves. |

This reminds me I have a VHS of Baltsa/Carreras Carmen, but conducted by James Levine at the Met. Can't remember when I last watched it, last century! |
