Apparently this was actually on his 90th birthday itself – bits of info here and there on that unimpeachable source, the Internet, indicate the performance was a gala in his honor. Even if the bottom sounds a bit rocky (and I’m not sure that isn’t down to the recording quality), what lovely high notes. Thanks for posting this.
A much-treasured clip 🙂
Mark Reizen! One of the greatest ever!!!
In case someone needs a discography of Onegin (unfortunately without Reizen)

Beatiful and moving. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for sharing a very stirring moment which I otherwise would not have known about
Really appreciate your sharing this Norman.
I hope Placido doesn’t see this post….
On the other hand, it may persuade him to give up conducting.
