Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's French Toast

OK. To me it sounds as if Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau sings "on the French toast the light gleams and is gone" in his recording of Barber's "Dover Beach" with the Juilliard Quartet. The word is of course supposed to be "coast."

Try the excerpt for yourself and let me know what word you think it is.

It's a beautiful recording, but I can't help chuckling at the French toast. Why didn't the producer catch and fix that?
