Who's Hank
Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.
Hank's taste includes the old Gregorian Chants and related religious works as well as music of the Baroque, Classical, and the Romantic period. Some of his favorites include Mahler, Edward Elgar, Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten.

Leontyne!
Posted: Sunday | 07.15.12
Bizet:
Performed by Leontyne Price (Carmen), Franco Corelli (Don José), Mirella Freni (Micaëla), Robert Merrill (Escamillo)
About two weeks ago, a reader reviewed my post from 2010 about the legendary American singer, Leontyne Price. So… for this reader, and for many others who enjoyed Ms. Price amazing performances, here’s another recording.
The Opera, Carmen, by Georges Bizet is a world favorite, and this work has some amazingly beautiful melodies, coupled by an exciting story. I once enjoyed a performance of this work at a theater in Vienna. It was unforgettable.
Here are some samples for you:
First here are Leontyne Price and Franco Corelli, in Carmen 1963-Final duet, from act 4
And here’s some more:
Leontyne Price & Franco Corelli sing ‘Non! tu ne m”aimes pas” from Bizet’s Carmen, recorded in 1963. Conductor Herbert von Karajan. Act 2.
