A special Gala Concert given by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra in January 1963 featured Joan Sutherland in the 'Mad Scene' from "Lucia di Lammermoor" (but without the Cabaletta). Sutherland of course sang the role many times but this is the only extant recording of Stokowski conducting any of Donizetti's music. Note: the complete Gala Concert from which this comes has been released on the 'Testament' label and also features arias sung by tenor Franco Corelli. (Testament SBT 1513).
