Dennis Brain was killed tragically in an accident on Sept. 1, 1957. In his memory, I offer the following recording of Micaela's aria from Act III of Carmen (Je dis que rien ne m'epouvante), made 19 Sep 1947. The soprano is Eleanor Steber, with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Walter Susskind, conductor. Dennis Brain plays the horn solo.
