Thank you for uploading this. I've always said that this is one of Ramey's finest performances. Anyone who thinks Ramey can't act needs to see this DVD.

@arpeggio1358 I always thought Ramey, despite his "devilish" fame, was one the greatest Don Quixotes of our time, be it Massenet's opera, Ravel's song cycle or even "The Man of La Mancha". This part suits him extremely well.

@Arashi110 It sure does. And as I said, for me to like his performance better than Furlanetto's is a real compliment to Ramey. Furlanetto is a very fine actor, butRamey is better in this role.
