I'm very glad to hear the famous master-teacher singing. His personality and interpretation is great! Sensitive and expressive. In one word: magnificent!
Absolutely beautiful. The transition from tenor to countertenor in the lovely, moving song at the end is astounding.. Richard, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard you live in person, never mind exact figures, back in the time of Roger Wagner (we shan’t delve into that relationship!!!). You were professional then, and how you have matured in technique, emotional understanding, interpretation, passion. Today, more than ever, your voice is strong, youthful, and fresh....remarkable.
Amarilli is one of my favorites. Could you sometime post a program list of the songs? Not familiar with the one you translated, it is delightful. Thank you for the video, it is a delight, and agreed, you are the master. Understandable why the likes of Andreas Scholl would want to study with you!
@CinclusCinclus: Thank you. So seldom are these little requests bothered with, all the more appreciate your list. Now I can copy, store in music folder, and print for further reference when hearing the beautiful renditions. BTW, I am married to a Nicaraguan, who longs to visit Salamanca one day, so we wonder whether Mr. Levitt ever performs in Spanish.
I always wanted to see and hear Mr Levitt. We owe him a lot. And there is evidently much to learn from the master. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.

Thank you for uploading this wonderful video. It finally gave me the chance to hear Mr. Levitt live, a chance I would never ever get otherwise.
