... In the same notes it says (news to me) that Walter made a recording of (something from) Carmen in 1900. I wonder whether on the piano or with primitive...
I just heard something crazy. Lynn Harrell was doing a Haydn Cello concerto, the one in C and he inserted as cadenza inter alia parts of M2. Also the bathtub...
Alright, it's been a while......I am happy that Yoel is alive and kicking! I guess I have found the prfect soprano for M4. Well, at least for me she has that...
