The old Germont urges his son to return to his birth place, to his family who is awaiting him there, assuring him that only through the sea and bright sun of his native Provance can he regain the peace of mind. Alfredo remains deaf to his father's urgings and firmly resolves to go to Flora's party, where Violetta is invited as well, to avenge his honour, convinced that Violetta has betrayed him and left him for Douphol, her former protector.

Since youtube doesn't allow single posts to go over 11 minutes, I had to split this recording into two parts. Please click on the video I responded to, to hear PART 1. Or go to this link: www.youtube.com Recorded on 20 December 1947. Conducted by Russ Case. I was quite entertained by this. The young Merrill's voice is at its best here. This cantata was composed by George Kleinsinger. Strange though that a die hard Yankees fan would be singing about the Yankees losing. Hope you enjoy.
