Initially I found, that eight videos were adequate to represent the recording of the WSS-musical, but this is the last of six videos, that have been requested to complete the whole session. Total playing time will now be: 1 hr 10 min. All these extra videos have a suffix of one or two letters to their number.

Oh, Tatiana. How we miss you.

I visited the museum of Musical Instruments in Phoenix and this was one of the clips on display, a shortened version naturally. I had forgotten how beautiful this is. Some highlights: at 3:10 when Kiri starts her slow part, the note she holds from 4:50 to about 5:00 and her reaction and finally when Tatiana joins in at the end from 5:11 to 5:50. Pure magic!!!

Troyanos was a Goddess and this is the proof. The look in her eyes at the end is priceless - seldom do we really know when we've done it right, but here she knows. RIP!

Opera is musical theater. Or should be. This is simply the best. Never equaled.

every young wanna be female singer should listen to this 50 times and pray to God that she can wake up from the digital stupor of her generation and learn what it is to FEEL real human emotion and train so hard to put that into your voice that you fall on your knees gasping for your life when you accomplish one tenth of what these women can do.

The play between them, the union of composer and musician is here for us to witness. It is pure and unadulterated; a thing of beauty.
Hail! To the staggering brilliance of Leonard Bernstein!

Such prolonged singing by Dame Kiri, incredible. What writing by .Mr Bernstein, what a performance by all. Margaret Romaine
