These galas are really gems. We took them a little bit for granted back when classical dancing and singing were a given, although they’re barely given a hearing now. Sadly, the gala begins with Alexander Godunov, who had a short and tragic life.

I also had no idea that they included ballet dancers, broadway performers, and instrumentalists, not just opera singers. It's pretty cool to have Isaac Stern pop up here or to have Barbara Cook pop up in another, not to mention Leonard Bernstein randomly play a Chopin mazurka.

Sadly, Godunov drank alcohol to excess and this became a problem as he got older. On May 18, 1995, Godunov's friends became concerned when he had been uncharacteristically quiet with his phone calls. A nurse, who had not heard from him since May 8, went to his home in the Shoreham Towers, West Hollywood, California, where his body was discovered. He had been dead for several days. Godunov's death was determined to be due to complications from hepatitis secondary to chronic alcoholism. He was 45 years old. A great artist.

Paired with the upload of the full 1982 In Concert at the MET with Domingo, Troyanos and Levine, showing this to my birthday girl is just gonna make her beam. As you likely know, many uploaders will say they have the entire recording of X performance but rarely mean it when they say they'll upload it. Truly amazing. Mil, mil gracias. Paz.

JL was a lateish replacement for the late LB, and seriously overbooked that week with the first MET Orchestra concerts in Ann Arbor and CH as well as recording sessions with Domingo for the Sony Trovatore and Luisa Miller recordings. A logistical nightmare all 'round. It worked somehow.

Wondering if the composer was conducting the last number or was just invited from out of the audience to take a bow…? It would have been an excellent idea if somebody had thought of it.

Whatever faults he had or supposedly had as a person, James Levine ranks alongside Toscanini, Ormandy, Bernstein, Karajan, Stokowski and Bonynge as one of the greatest conductors of all time.
