...passions in these psalms are familiar: anguish, anomie fueling rage, solitude seeking fusion, a gonadal pulse that just won't quit. Ah yes, the soul of rock in its giddy, roiling infancy. The singing voice is familiar too. That pure tenor -- its piercing power and excellent elocution suggesting a glee-club star who's just been kneed by the school football coach -- could belong only to Marvin Lee Aday, known to the world as Meat Loaf. First as Eddie the zombie biker in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), then as star of writer-arranger Jim Steinman's ambitious album...

(In 1968 Domingo made his debut in Adriana Lecouvreur, Pavarotti in La Boheme.) The Met's jubilee...
...instruments constantly added to a basic string quintet. Cellos and basses come and go; horns, trombones and contrabassoons add color; a full string orchestra emerges, along with a vocal choir. Finally, pop singer Tom Waits joins in, his raspy, passionate baritone contrasting with the old man's reedy tenor. Its long journey finished, the music slowly drifts away on the wings of this unlikely duet...
