  1. What is the music that Sir Simon is singing that acts as a bsckground to the interview--1984? He is clearly the most charismatic baritone currenty singing; a pity that his Billy Budd was not captured on tape when he sang it with the WNO.

  2. Keenlyside is the finest lyrical baritone of his generation. And yes, he is a barihunk.
    The background video is from Hamlet. A role he will repeat at the MET in March 2010.
