It took me a long time to make the playlist free from faults, but now it's finally OK, I promise you !

God what an insight into Lenny...I really think he wanted Kiri to come down and sing from the podium next to him...not in a sexual way, but if you watch how Lenny interacts with his artists, he loves them and is full of hugs and tears and he rejoices in their talent...and who would not bath in the talent of Kiri. Amazing scenes into a mastro who waved a baton, put pen to paper, and wrote himself and conducted himself into heaven...We miss you Lenny and you are irreplaceable. We feel your smile.

It was this production of West Side Story back in 1982 by Bernstein that I discovered the incredible voice of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. Ever since, I have been a fan. The chemistry between Kiri & Carreras is magical… the whole piece is really. I also love the way Bernstein conduces as if he were a “wee little elf” … truly amazed by his own brilliant music.

Olfux… many thanks for posting all of these wonderful videos.
