il quartetto encore: quattro più...e...una 'tutte le feste'

a domingo duke -- with isola jones, ileana cotrubas & cornell macneil


an anna moffo quartet -- with alfredo kraus, rosalind elias and robert merrill


something else, from the movie 'quartet' -- i noticed, and really enjoyed, the slow...instrumental-only...renditions of the quartet -- beautiful -- and...various parts of the piece too -- works...great -- just...tremendously beautiful music

cruising around on youtube, i came across, from that same '77 met production, ileana cotrubas & cornell macneil's 'tutte le feste al tempio' -- beautiful,...gorgeous,...spell-binding


jose carreras -- apparently, from one of the two times he played the duke...with new york city opera (in 1973) -- with patricia wise, margaret yauger, louis quilico


another pavarotti-sutherland pairing -- this time with huguette tourangeau and sherrill milnes, in the studio, in 1971 -- with sutherland's husband, richard bonynge, conducting
