I vividly remember watching this in 1993 on PBS. The whole performance is just wonderful, but if you are pressed for time or unsure if this kind of music is for you, at least jump ahead to the 6 minute mark and listen to the end. The ease and smoothness of the the coloratura, the sheer joy of her singing, and the way the penultimate note floats out of her mouth are great pleasures to behold.
