Moreover, this is a highlights disk--you can tell by the "Grosser Querschnitt", which means something like "large cross-section" and is how German highlights disks are labeled.

This one looks pretty good. I may have posted it before in this thread, but a lot of the images are failing to show up.
Here is audio for the knifing scene.

I seem to remember it being quite well received.

Good to know: Someone called *me* a "Grosser Querschnitt" just the other day. Now I don't feel so bad.

I suppose that depends on how large your cross-section is.

Sampling this on YouTube, I'm not impressed. Vishnevskaya is past her prime, nearly everything above the staff is a scream, and the voice seems basically too small in any case (listen to her marvelous Liu in a live 1964 Turandot under Gavazzeni, where she can be heard at her best). The other principals sound up to their jobs, although Bonisolli wasn't the most glamorous of tenors. Some of Rostropovich's tempi seem unnecessarily slow. Despite Vishnevskaya's characteristic dramatic flair, we're a long way from Callas and company and, I can't help feeling, from Italy. I don't need to hear the rest of this.This one looks pretty good.

Thank you sir. You just saved me twenty bucks!
Now I think we have a way to put an economic value on TC. Maybe I should tell my wife how much money I am saving by spending all my time here.

She sometimes mentions how I have CDs arriving almost daily at times and wonders how do I find time to listen to all of it.
