Saw this only today. What a magnificent performance. Bernstein is mesmerising. Great to see such early footage of Domingo. I sang in the chorus in Hobart, Tasmania in 1976, so have a particular fondness for this Requiem.
The original video had a nice spoken intro by LB. This was the first of the Amberson series of videos that went on for twenty years. LB's own company helped produce a series of performance videos, usually with Unitel, with a high budget: sound and video that would stand the test of time.
Josephine Veasey (1930-2022) really was a very gifted mezzo soprano; such a fine document of her, not yet 40 years of age here. She had an enormous career and was everywhere from La Scala, the Metropolitan and (very long at) Covent Garden . She bad farewell in 1982 when only 52 and died when 91. She was CBE.
Never heard Domingo sound more controlled or better!

Fenomenal. Puro belleza. Bravi a tutti.
This performance is nothing to be compared. It is absolutely great.
