Posted by Pierre Cabana Also a more recent reprint of The Worl of Erna Sack with Choir and Orchestra: London SPA.4040 1972, (Telefunken) Here's my point: Talking with an old fellow in a record shop, I was told that this singner spent a long time in Montreal giving recitals and actually living in Montreal probably in the 50's or 60's. DOES ANY BODY KNOW ANYTHING IN THIS MATTER? please forward. Thanks Pierre Cabana. --Previous Message--
