girl Gundula Janowitz, Galina Vishnevskaya, Giangiacomo Guelfi, Felicia Weathers, Elisabeth Gr\u00fcmmer, Wolfgang Windgassen, Pavel Lisitsian, and Arlene Saunders, have in common? If you need a hint, it\u2019s in the title of today\u2019s episode: each of them sang at least one and not more than ten performances at that venerable institution, the Metropolitan Opera. These and a number of other artists will be featured on this week\u2019s episode, to be followed by more world-class artists who, for one reason or another (though certainly not talent, skill, or ability) \u201cbarely sang at the Met.\u201d We hear music of Mozart, Strauss, Verdi, Stravinsky, Wagner, Puccini, and Weber, led by conductors who either were fixtures at the Met (Thomas Schippers, Nello Santi, Dimitri Mitropoulos), appeared occasionally at the Met (Leopold Ludwig, Charles Mackerras), or never appeared there (Wolfgang Sawallisch, Ferdinand Leitner, Joseph Keilberth) or appeared there only once (John Barbirolli, who led a single gala concert there in 1940).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer advgb-dyn-3c7bf8da\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer advgb-dyn-13857eb0\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"859\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Zeani-859x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Zeani-859x1024.jpg 859w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Zeani-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Zeani-768x915.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Zeani-1289x1536.jpg 1289w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Zeani.jpg 1553w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Giuseppe Verdi, Francesco Maria Piave: Ah, fors\u2019\u00e8 lui (<em>La traviata<\/em>).
