Alas. She was a very sexy Carmen, in the recording conducted by Fritz Reiner on HMV in ancient mono. The LP box cover is something else, she looks like she isnt so much about to seduce you as bite off your sensitive bits for an hors d'oeuvre (not sure about that spelling, but you know what I mean: a nibble).
