I love the moment of tenderness between Martina and Ingvar in the duet. Even though it's a concert performance of excerpts, they really "are" the characters! RIP Ingvar.

Again I am amazed at how well Martina Arroyo sings music that was assosciated almost exclusively with Leontyne Price in peoples heads.Wixell always impressed me with his artistry and musicianship and he impresses me here as well. He is a damn good Porgy.
