dearieme – I think this one works better if you close your eyes and don’t look at the conductor. Mmm! yes just close your eyes and absorb the musical sounds…
Very nice. However Klemperer was never destined to surpass his great portrayal of Mason Verger, a part for which he required neither makeup nor prosthetics.
I’m sorry to say that I found that entirely pedestrian.

Y-e-e-e-s-s, this one did not “grab” you good people as much, it seems.
Not for me either.
Possibly because I have been watching Plácido Domingo in Rigoletto on the BBC and thoroughly enjoyable it was too!
(act two was especially good)
