STUNNING FROCKS
There is nothing that says good taste like a chic concert gown, custom designed by one of the era's top purveyors of haute couture. Lily Pons kept a performance diary noting which gown she wore at each recital to make sure she was never seen more than once in that beige crepe Balenciaga. She had her priorities right. A few of these ladies don't.

 is a complete live concert from 1977 in London. Australian Hunter would seem to be one of the jolliest dramatic sopranos around. And a great sport being posed next to a potted plant. Notice the green light shining through her chiffon sleeve.<br><br>TETRAPHONE XY4001-2'))
