There's an old RCA Victor recording, probably not even in stereo. Rise Stevens is Carmen, Jan Peerce is Don Jose, the young Robert Merrill is Escamillo, Licia Albanese is Micaela and Fritz Reiner conducts the RCA Victor Orchestra and the Robert Shaw Chorale. It is, as you might expect, a great performance. It's available right now on Amazon.

Ms. Stevens was born in NYC in 1913. Her father was Lutheran, and her mother Jewish. I find no information on which faith (if either) she was raised in. She is still very much alive at the age of 99. She was a legendary mezzo-soprano, as you probably know.
