[david...@aol.com]

Boulez and the NYP gave performances of Liszt’s Saint Elizabeth (Die
Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth) on September 30, October 1,
October 2, & October 4, 1971. Does anybody know which of these four
performances was broadcast or have access to a reference that would
give this information? Thanks.

Here’s a more detailed listing of the performers:

Liszt: Die Legende von der heiligen Elisabeth
Maralin Niska, Betty Allen, Donald McIntyre, & Donald Gramm, soloists
The Camerata Singers, Abraham Kaplan, director
The New York Philharmonic, Boulez

David:

I've never seen a broadcast tape of this work. I did have an in-house
recording in quite decent sound. I posted it to operashare sometime
ago, but I believe the links are still good. Since I was the original
poster, I don't think I am breaking operashare rules by offering them
below.

On request here is the Pierre Boulez Liszt LEGEND OF ST. ELIZABETH
from the NYP's 1971 season. Boulez made some judicious cuts and IMHO,
it strengthens the work. A really lovely performance.

Disc two contains a few lagniappes, including Jan DeGaetani in
Varese's OFFRANDES and the Ravel MALLARME POEMS. I have never heard
the Varese sound more beautiful than it does here and the Mallarme
poems, even with a lack of support on one note, had me holding my
breath for fear of breaking the spell deGaetani cast. Enjoy!

192kps. Disc One in one ZIP file, join disc two with HJSplit, unzip
and you are good to go. Sourced from LPS (LISZT) and my personal open
reel collection. Remastering by yours truly. Liszt recorded 1971,
all other items recorded 1975.

Ray,

Thanks for the links. I actually already have the Liszt, but the
other things are all new to me. Particularly looking forward to the
Varese with Jan de Gaetani.

The Stravinsky items are rather mundane. The Varese and the Ravel
outstanding.

I think you'll enjoy them. At least I hope you will.

David, Ray, et.al., there are no broadcast tapes of the NYP between
mid-1967 (when the musicians voted to discontinue the broadcasts) and
the 1975-76 season (when Exxon signed on as sponsor). All material
from this period is in-house.

Thanks very much! I remember seeing a "pirate" LP set of the Liszt, many
years ago at one or two stores in San Francisco, on a label called MRF or IGI
or something like that. I never did buy it, so this music is new to me.

I seem not to have kept my files from long ago, and of course Rapidshare has joined the choir invisibule and become a dead parrot. Would someone kindly re-up?

In the interest of giving value-added, I offer a link to the NYP's own program for these performances, which include some attendee's handwritten notations on timings:
