@lord Hetrick: Looking at other clip in comparison to this one, I see now that the video portion in that is not as sharply focussed as this one. Perhaps that is the reason why I saw the appearance of greater youth in the other one. Also explains what appears to be modern costume on singers. Thank you for the explanation from Joe Z. Jo
There is another performance of this delightful duet here on TH-cam in period costume, by same singers. That one is also dated 1996. In that performance the singers appear visibly younger. Is the poster sure of date? Doesn't matter, though,except as a detail. These two seem to be turning into another "Cosi" pair like Schwarzkopf and Merriman were. How many times have they done it? Interesting comparison with other post, and a great job. Thanks!
It just doesn't get any better - Vaness & Mentzer. Supreme Soprano & Mezzo, wonderful movement, humour & coquettishness. Bravo!
wONDERFUL DUET. tHANKS FOR POSTING. HAVE ALWAYS LOVED IT.
Блестяще!
I love these two!! And Carol Vaness looks like a queen here. :D
Beautifull
This is from James Levine's 25 years gala at the MET.
I would be like the 'fox that caught the pigeons' with these two.
