The Voice Of Miliza Korjus

Delibes Lakme (Bell Song)
The Voice Of Miliza Korjus
RCA CAMDEN CAL 297
1959

This LP has a bit of a "hollywood soundtrack" flare to it. Korjus did work in a number of films. She was nominated for the Academy Award For Best Supporting Actress for her first film appearance in The Great Waltz (1938).

Of note, in 1944 or thereabouts she settled in Los Angeles and founded Venus Records so that she could release her earlier recordings.

Enjoy!
