Recordings
Several recordings exist of "I dream I dwelt in marble halls", perhaps most notably Sutherland's recording on her compilation disc La Stupenda. Sutherland's husband, conductor Richard Bonynge, recorded a complete version of The Bohemian Girl with Sutherland and Bonynge's protégée, Nova Thomas, singing the title role. It is one of the only complete recordings of the entire opera and still in print via ArkivMusic.

Famous quotes containing the word recordings:
“All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.”
