Re: [ARSCLIST] Oscar Levant-William Kernell Opera 'Carnival'

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Karl & David,
 Thanks for this information - please let me know some details of this 
LP (title, label, catalog number....).  Would be very interested in 
obtaining a copy or dub.
 In searching the (En)rico Ricardi reference, a site about film dubbing 
indicated that the singing voice for Karloff is Tudor Williams.  Anyone
know?  I thought the 'Karloff' vocals were rather musical, the others 
grating.  Did Williams make any recordings?
 Thanks!
 Best wishes, Thomas.
