    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.
