As some of the commenters pointed out, if she can't breathe or get the words out, then what's the point? His reply ("It doesn't matter - nobody can hear the words anyway") is just plain embarrassing. Of course, Bernstein had his moments, but his lapses of taste put him far down the ladder for me.
OTOH, I used to have Christa Ludwig's recording (along with her husband, Walter Berry) of Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn - a double LP with Bernstein conducting the orchestral version and also playing the piano version. I was impressed by his playing on the piano versions of the songs, because some of them are pretty darned awkward to play. (I know from experience!)
Could say I was a big fan. Bought all of her recordings that I could find.
Her Schubert lieder recording that came out on Angel in the mid-60s should be in the classical hall of fame.
Scratchy Lp. Mine was about as bad, but after a couple of tries EMI finally issued a good CD version. It's also in a Warner box of seven or eight of her recordings, all superb.
Obviously, my favorite recording of this work.
Fritz and Otto hold up their side as well!
I splurged on that and got the SACD reissue that was issued in Japan. The original standard CD release had horrible sonics. Wonder if the Warner issue is better.
The 1998 "Great Recordings of the Century" remaster is pretty good.
. . . also if you collect booklet covers with reproductions of paintings by Caspar David Friedrich:
Czech Radio broadcasts from 1983 and 1966 respectively
Nice.

This is one of my favorite videos of Christa Ludwig, and it was by far the most entertaining part of the entire Candide performance. Thanks for sharing!
