Archival recording: Barber's 'Vanessa' with Vaness, Jepson, Castle and Reijans from Amsterdam
Barber's 'Vanessa' is an American opera in three acts, with an original English libretto by Gian-Carlo Menotti. Vanessa, Erika, and the Baroness await the arrival of Anatol, a man who had been Vanessa's lover twenty years before. After he left, she covered up all the mirrors of the house until his expected return, unwilling to face looking at her aging self. Thinking that the man who arrives and who is called Anatol is her former lover, Vanessa refuses to reveal her face to him until he says he still loves her.
Performers: Carol Vaness: Vanessa. Kristine Jepson: Erika. Joyce Castle: Old Baroness. Marcel Reijans: Anatol. Michael Lewis: The Old Doctor. Henk Neven: Nicholas/ Servant.
Netherlands Radio Choir and Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor: Jaap van Zweden.

I believe this is actually a Radio 4 Netherlands offering. They list it right at GMT 1200, and NRK Kl. has only miscellaneous one-hour offerings that day -- Geoffrey Riggs
