A Richard Verreau Recital (Québec, 1960)
The Québécois tenor performs this recital from 1960 in Rimouski, Québec. The pianist is Guy Bourassa. The audio is not great, but it is still a wonderful historic document of this artist's talent. Verreau studied with Émile Larochelle, Raoul Jobin, and Beniamino Gigli. My source indicates the title of song #10, but I cannot confirm that. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.
