Bryn Terfel, Frederica von Stade and Placido Domingo sing for James Lavine

[wirrack]

I loved that President and First Lady Bush were in the shot.  That's a command performance indeed!

[wirrack]

Brynn Terfel dominated the performance as usual. How wonderful as a tribute concert for Maestro James Levine!

[Chaserpeach]

I do not suppose anyone knows a tutorial video on how to do that airwalk/moonwalk do they?

I have to sing Toreador at a concert coming up in a few months' time and I really wanted to try that

Fantastic ¡¡¡¡

[meprew2]

Awesome, except for the sound not matching up with the picture :(

[zegermans750]

Is that cronkite introducing them?

[kerimun]

Bryn is fantastic. But the descent atmosphere is contaminated by the existence of the lame duck W.

[phantomunmasked]

Was that Glenn Close at 2.03?? :D Bryn is brilliant, as usual! :) Moonwalk FTW. Love how Maestro Levine can't resist the urge at 2.40. Love Flikca and Placi too! <3

[arpeggio1358]

@phantomunmasked It sure looks like Glenn Close.

WOW... What a treasure... It is hilarious. I'm curious, how they going to celebrate Jimmy's 40th anniversary at the Met next year. It has to be something extraordinary...

[barmanjoe]

hahahaha in the middle of the french......WHISTLE!!!!

[matthieusarah]

Too bad the aria has been shortened! But what a show from Terfel, as usual!

[vwsmusic]

Thank you so much for posting this as well.

Since when can Bryn Terfel do the moonwalk?

[bigjoetube]

This is the Kennedy Center Honors for 2002. I look forward to it every year.

[silcmo]

Wow!! Really good! =D

Where and when was this concert?

Thank you!

[vwsmusic]

@silcmo It was recorded at the beginning of December 2002, during the Kennedy Center Honors, for broadcast between Christmas and New Year's Eve, as is their custom.
