Is this concert available on DVD?

I have the whole thing including the applause and judging from audience reactions, Nilsson got the biggest reaction. I think it was Tucker/Merrill after that... and possibly Sutherland/Pavarotti who got a roaring standing ovation as well.

YES ONLY NILSSON HAD MORE APPLAUSE

This duet by the way, was the hit of the entire evening.

Paul H Hume is dead as of 2001 and no corelli did not sing the role--- again he wrote something but really meant Corelli usually sings nothing from the role, Hume should have quit sooner and Tucker sang many times better then Hume wrote. As for Corelli his voice did indeed fit Otello but he choose not to sing it he could have.

Paul Hume was a poor critic he would not know a rasp from a whisper he is the guy that almost got the crap kicked out of him for flaming the daughter of pres. Truman while he was still president. She may not have been a great soprano but I heard a recording and she was not bad, decent. He was told by letter from Truman that he had "better have beef steak for his eye and a steel jock strap below if they ever met" Harry Truman had guts! Hume wrote wrongly about Tucker if he said that Crap.
