I recorded this gem from the Delta Airlines Sunday Night Opera
broadcasts on WQXR-FM in NYC back in 1985. When I lived in NYC...

Just thinking about that recording as I recall it in my inner ear's
& mind's archives...gives my the chills. What an amazing recording.
And what a good person you are to give a friend the opportunity
to experience such a valuable musical creation!
