This is a brilliant document. Loved especially the anecdotes, especially the one about Edward Johnson - he was a wonderful and humble human being, never took his singers for granted, unlike the pompous Austrian prick who replaced him. The impromptu singing of course was very enjoyable as well (and great warm ups he did, very proper ones, not like the heavy scales given to students nowadays!)
GREAT! Thank you so much for this. And topped off with the Bluebird of Happiness, no less! I love Peerce....any age, and genre, any language, whatever. Easily one of the most beloved classical singers America ever produced.
enjoyed immensely, thanks
