duet of l'Africaine "O longue souffrance", by Verrett, Bumbry, Norman

Though l'Africaine by Meyerbeer seems to be a tenor opera because of his famous "O paradis", it requires a very gifted dramatic Falcon, a robust dark voiced dramatic soprano, able to sustain hours of dramatic music and able both to trill and have pathetic expressiveness. Here are three valuable Selikas: Shirley Verrett, Grace Bumbry, Jessye Norman. I am looking for the entire opera with Ponselle too.
