By Strauss, with Julie Andrews and John Denver
Florestan's Aria, in two parts. That staging (by Jean-Pierre Ponelle) is extraordinarily moving.
Now, that's what I call applause...from a 1995 concert in Bogota
Four nice clips of still photos with appropriate musical backing: one, two, three, four. Including some contributions from Faye and me.
Excerpt from Luisa Miller, including the "Viva Maria Callas" shout excised from the recent video release...and a Callas War in the comments thread.
A superb concert performance of C'est toi-c'est moi from Carmen, proof that neither costumes not sets are required to be utterly convincing as Don Jose and Carmen.
Mstislav Rostropovich on cello, Plácido on piano
Various Three Tenors 1990 clips: O sole mio, closing medley...I really should get this on DVD; I have it on the same video tape that I contains my first appearance on Fifteen To One. And on vinyl LP.
Thanks to Jolanta as ever for favouriting these, for the numerous people who posted them to YouTube, and last, but certainly not least to Plácido for bringing so much pleasure to so many people for so long. (And long may he continue to do so!)
