Brava, diva! Thanks for the upload.

Terribly underrated...and she really did know how to sing. Today, she'd be a huge star. Thanks for the upload. I have a couple of (pirate) recordings, but this is certainly better.

Bill O'Reilly and Fox News addressing manipulation??? HYSTERICAL!!!

Hey, Bob, I'm blown away. This is superb! To think you held yourself back from performing. (I'm about to start performing again as a singer for the first time in over a decade, and I'm scared sh*tless; you've inspired me!) Keep it up.

@1993MGB Ah, okay...still not my favorite, but I can certainly hear what people are going on about. Thanks for the heads up!

@1527XZ Four whole years???? Really???? Wow, we all had better just shut up. You go, girl!

Can't we just remember Pavarotti and Björling both as superb tenors, who brought - and continue to bring - joy to millions? When did singing become a sport instead of an art form?

God, this brings back such great memories of seeing him do this at the Met. How magnificent he was! I agree: No one has yet come close to doing what he did. Thanks for the post.

For all those people who disbelieve in the theory of the Indigo children, just take a trip through YouTube. They're out there.

I had the great honor of working with them both many times. Not only legendary singers, but delightful colleagues and lovely human beings. Such a loss on so many levels...but so nice to hear them together here. Thanks, AmorediPazzia!

What a goddess she was! Sheer delight!

Oh, my God!! This is gorgeous. Would love to get hold of the entire album. Let's ALL write letters to BMG and get them to re-issue it.

What a delight!

Simon C. is really a lizard, who should crawl back under his rock and die. The man is a failed performer and is now determined to crush other people. I'm a professional teacher and singer, and I know - perhaps not yet superbly - that each one of those girls has a voice. I hope they continue. ...

@Seb120x Just read your comment after having posted my own. I agree completely. Let's continue to enjoy great art!

@ivorystone5 Well, I KNOW you don't know what you're talking about, because not only have I seen Baryshnikov dance on many occasions, I used to take (Sasha Minsk's)class with him. When and where did you see him dance, and what qualifies your expertise!

Oh my God, this is magnificent. Thanks so much for posting it, MathildeMar! I'll be back, too.

Amazing. Delightful. Technically superb!

Live!!!! There's not a commercial recording that comes close to this. Not one that I've heard, anyway.

@Herur22 Amen!

@SootImp Couldn't agree more. I have the feeling she's always trying to be someone else. As the saying goes: "Be yourself; everyone else is taken."

God, she's extraordinary. Love the shot of Julie and the Pav at the end.

This man becomes president in 2012 or the USA hits the skids and is on its way out. There really is no second choice.

@MichaelNeillSinger I suspect one of the reasons she gets the big money is because she CAN sing that note every night. When you have a solid technique, the "height" of the note doesn't matter. (As a tenor), I sing at least 15 high C's per day, and I'm over 60. But then, losers are always makin...

GIANTS!!!!

@LordMgls My career began at Lincoln Ctr in '71; 40 yrs later in Europe, it's still going. I mention that, because I think it qualifies me to understand a tiny bit about audiences and performers. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I find your arguments specious and won't trouble mys...

@MrNigribov Gee, let me re-phrase that: Great singer...lousy master class giver. No matter who turns up, it's absurd to instruct them at a level, which is so far beyond what they can comprehend or duplicate. As for responsibility, we all have full responsibility for the positions we assume in l...

Thanks, snetnetnet, for uploading this. These kids are adorable; they've really put me in the Christmas spirit! And I gotta say, they handle "going up" much better than I ever have. (They're also A LOT more professional about controllin their laughter) Merry Christmas to all of you.

EXTRAORDINARY!! A REAL MIRACLE

@Mrsawyer46 I agree with all of you on Jackie's specialness. wojciechzby, it's the voice I want to hear as I die. ethericplane, I feel the same way. This goes way beyond the ravishing beauty of her singing. How fortunate we all are. I believe in miracles.

GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ravishingly beautiful! LIVE!!! They really are superb together. Thank God for conductor and orchestra, who really let them float.
