be fair - no one has ever played this work like Horowitz - this is outstanding.

At last something worth going to itunes for

Does singing get any better than this?

This is musical genius - no one who is alive today can sing like this - no one.

Hello. This is great playing. NOTHING will get near this. It is Hamlet made music.

How good is this!

this guy is so on his own he is a genius - 'nuff said

This is amongst the best playing EVER.

PLEASE WILL SOMEONE UPLOAD "aint no way to treat a lady"

how good is this!

@ironsausage66 is the old shirt 'attained' or 'stained' with the blood and whiskey? For 35 years I have been hearing it as stained but of course it could be attained - much the same really when you think about it.

fantastic song -still so powerful but what is' the leftover wine' and, yes, I think it does matter

This guy is superb - if you can't hear that getoutofhere

yes but just listen to her recoding on Phillips records of this song and you'll see how much she owns it - Scott Walker and Jacques Brel don't make it to the car park

This performance is toweringly musical and to those who cannot hear that well fortunately for you there is sudoku.

has anyone ever heard this most difficult aria sung better?

singing has got better than this - but not too often

what singing? Ella and Carmen.But Carmen - she had- she had- that something.

magnificent, not a jot less

Dessay does do well with this but there is more beauty in Callas's singing than in Dessay's studied performance. It's s not meant to be the doll song (is it?) Unlike Handel it's not easy to improve on 20th century bel canto singing.

this is not Maria at her best* - perhaps due to Lenny.

*not anywhere, anywhere, anywhere near her best

the high notes forgetaboutit, Is it the phrasing? This performance is out on its own. Defect perfection?

What a musician Sutherland was, here she doesn't seek to take over the music just present it - was she a great Verdian? (the pictures are excellentissimo).
