Verdi's Simon Boccanegra Wows Vienna

EURONEWS: Verdi's Simon Boccanegra wows Vienna. Here is a brief video with interview and (enticing) performance excerpts. 




Look closely, and you can see Tristan through Tom's leg.
Lenny's paws are showing behind the interviewer's chair.
I am really, really looking forward to the release of the complete performance. Interestingly, Luca speaks only Italian here, (his English is pretty good) but they do make it a point to remind us he grew up in Verdi's home town. Sadly, although Lenny and Tristan were present for the interview, their thoughts on the concert are not shared in this video.

Verdi: Simon Boccanegra – Radio Broadcast from Sweden

While we are waiting for the Vienna concert to be released commercially... (I was going to say on CD, then I remembered I really don't buy very many CDs any more; and I'm more likely to download it. This makes me wonder how my readers are consuming commercially recorded music these days. Should we take a poll?)
