Interesting to hear the Zawinul Syndicate with Scott Henderson and Gerald Veasley (bass) playing Gulda's music. Always a bit of competition between the two Austrian masters Gulda and Zawinul and the great Joe wasn't to keen on this which he comsidered TV music....

Is there anywhere the complete opera can be seen/heard? Also, who is the musician Gulda references as "having just died"?

Herbert von Karajan
