Lily Pons

Did Maria Callas ever sing with Jan Peerce?
I have a full opera of “Lucia” with Jan Peerce and Lily Pons, and as a filler on the second disc there’s also some recordings of Maria Callas singing Lucia. Both were recorded at the Met in 1956, so they were both there singing around the same time. I know Maria Callas sang with Peerce’s brother in law Richard Tucker. I’ve also seen a full opera of “Tosca” with Jan Peerce, Grace Moore, and Lawrence Tibbett put out by Myto – Any idea where I can find it (and please don’t suggest eBay, because if it were there I would have bought it)?
Thanks for the answer ukquilter. I’ve thought about it and it could be possible that they sung together but didn’t record together. I would believe this to be the case of Callas and Peerce because they were both very popular so chances are they may have sung together at the Met or something, but Callas recorded for EMI and Peerce for RCA Victor.
It’s hard to know how to help you. The only thing I can think of with difficult-to-access information, is what has worked for me in the past: I acquired a biography of the person whose music I was interested in, and in the back was his complete discography.

Carnegie Hall / Edgar G. Ulmer [VHS] $8.88 This 1947 curio, saluting and partly filmed at the New York City cultural landmark, begins with a shot of the building’s exterior. Except that the “exterior” is a photograph with a dramatic yet distinctly ersatz night sky optically sutured above it. In short, Edgar G. Ulmer, the poet of Poverty Row, is up to his usual tricks–wresting dynamic imagery out of next-to-nothing, even if Carnegi… |

Carnegie Hall $13.47 The Bel Canto Society print of Carnegie Hall is the only one that is complete, with all the musical selections. The currently competing version is missing Lily Pons’s “Vocalise” (Rachmaninoff) and more than half of Bruno Walter’s Meistersinger prelude. Moreover, although that version announces Rise Stevens in “Mon coeur s’ouvre a ta voix” (Samson et Dalila), it omits the selection and jumps t… |
