The result, Lewisohn Stadium, named after its principal benefactor, Adolph Lewisohn, and modeled much along the lines of an ancient Roman coliseum, became that and much more. -

THE METROPOLITAN OPERA on PIRATE CD COMPILED by FRANK HAMILTON © 2011 [email protected]
THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ON PIRATE CD COMPILED BY FRANK HAMILTON © 2011 http://FrankHamilton.org [email protected] This chronological discography of radio broadcasts and in-house recordings on compact discs is devoted mainly to non-commercial issues. There are still some mistakes such as roles assigned improperly. There have been MET issues on foreign labels without international distribution that I have not had access to, and I have not included those here. I wish to thank Pierre Guillemette of Candiac, Quebec, for the countless corrections that he made in the early stages of this project, and Bill DePeter of New York for his major contributions. Compact disc serial numbers are followed by the total number of CDs in the set, and this is followed by the year of issue when known. 1933 3/03/33: Tristan und Isolde (excerpt): FRIDA-LEIDER-GESELLSCHAFT FLG 11031933 1 2003 Isolde Frida Leider Tristan Lauritz Melchior Brangäne Maria Olszewska Kurwenal Friedrich Schorr König Marke Ludwig Hofmann Melot Arnold Gabor Ein junger Seemann Hans Clemens Ein Hirt Hans Clemens Der Steuermann James Wolfe maestro direttore Artur Bodanzky Kennst du der Mutter Künste nicht? — Herr Tristan trete nah!

These artists include Sergei Rachmaninoff, Marian Anderson, Percy Grainger, Igor Stravinsky, Jose Iturbi, Winifred Christie, Pablo Casals, Amelita Galli-Curci, Nelson Eddy, Dorothy Maynor, Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony Orchestra, Todd Duncan, Marilyn Horne, Bidu Sayão, Teresa Carreño, Artur Rubenstein, and many, many others.

Houston had been labeled a “whiskey and trombone” town—a montage of brassy frontierism and established gentility. Though Southern in its refinement, Houston was Western in its aggressiveness. Only years before, it had drawn the ocean fifty miles to its door, grabbing the torch of leadership from the once-strategic Galveston and creating for itself the nation’s third largest port.
