But gee, Mario, why didn't you kiss ALR's hand?:)--

I too wish there were subtitles, since my German is very limited. But Del Monaco's charisma remains powerful, and Rothenberger -- well, I first fell in love with her photos on album covers 30-something years ago. A fine singer and beautiful woman:) --

What a great program and gracious soprano / host. You understood what MDM was saying, I gave a short summary in another reply. Obviously rehearsed, but much praise for this Italian tenor for working in another linguistic sphere.Very few of his compatriots have done so.

Mine too! Here comes a synopsis of their dialogue. ALR says she understands that he loves painting - he answers "passionately". Then she asks whether he loves singing or painting more. He answers painting, because if you sing a couple of bad (falsch) notes, the critics will tear you down from the firmament, but if you paint a couple of bad colors, perhaps you will get an award. Then she introduces what they will sing in her program.

What a gorgeous lady - here at 52. My dad had records of her with Nicolai Gedda in operettas. But I know she was also a great Sophie and many other things. If I understood MDM he seems to be saying that he prefers painting to singing!!

Saw this programme when a kid, but didn't remember he sang an excerpt from operetta, keep on sending on these treasures

Wow, I wish this had english subtitles. He's my favorite tenor of all time.
Thanks for the translation. He's really got this unpretentious and raw charisma that I really enjoy. A true Italian :)
