This is the first professional recording I have head of this work. In the summer of 1962 I was singing the role of Azeal in an English production of L'enfant prodique at Opera in the Ozarks Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

What's with that creepy drawing?

LOL. It is a lithograph from 1975 by Marc Chagall titled "Return of the Prodigal Son".
