Act IV: Brahma! Wischnou! excerpts :
(a) "[Brahma!] Wischnou! Shiva!"
(b) "Brahma! Wischnou! Shiva!"
Pol Plançon (bs), Grand Brahmin
Metropolitan Opera Chorus & Orchestra--
Phillippe Flon
March 15, 1901
[Snake; Glackens 74.]
Later in the same act, for some reason, Mapleson elected to record the brief choral invocation led by the Grand Brahmin, in two of its three occurrences; the first time, he missed the opening call to "Brahma!"
[original]
GRAND BRAHMIN, echoed by CHORUS
Brahma! Wischnou! Shiva!
Gloire à vous!
[translation]
GRAND BRAHMIN, echoed by CHORUS
Brahma! Vishnu! Shiva!
Glory to thee!
