Ricordo benissimo le tre esecuzioni del 1987! Splendido!
Micsoda csodás felvétel! Ez már történelem!👏🌹
I never knew Bernstein conducted Boheme. Always new surprises! Bernstein conducted, late-1950s or early-1960s, Rosenkavalier with Sills as Sophie. I wonder if any kind of tape exists for that performance. P.S. Sills specifically mentioned this performance in her memoirs; it was way before his recording with Jones & Ludwig.
Fantastic gem! Thank you
59:02 ... that's right... :)
What a loss Hadley’s death was…
Pleas
Wonderful cast however strange casting of Mimi
She reminds me of Moffo at certain moments.
