I remember one live performence the St louis Symphony did on the Mississippi river front,,( Summer Concert) Slatkin,,Of Carmina Burana,, Concert was going fine,,Till the Soprano hit high C,,Nothing came out,,She grabbed her throat,,Hit a lower note and gained recomposure and finished the song,, I have that on tape,,Later,Slatkin said to me, can you fix it???  Later as a joke i spliced in a FOG HORN,, For a replay study,,,The Soprano laughed,,I gave her a copy,,,     But the best Carmina Burana was with Hans Vonk,,We did a Video plus audio recording,,Shown on NPR,,, This was a joke on Vonk and some of the orchestra members,,, The Baratone singing as he staggers through the orchestra,,acting drunk,,some times sitting on musicians laps,,all in perfect pitch and not missing a note,,It was halarious..     I also loved the St Louis Philharmonic,, They loved a Party after every concert,,Insisting On a tape playback ,,,Drinking and listening till three in the morning...   All master taps are sealed of all concerts and need the writen permission of president of orchestras involved,,They are pretty strict on any distribution..  I have the tapes under special climate control vault,, Some times other conductors Have me pull a tape for study,, But they do not get a copy,,  I am converting some performances to CD for FM playback,,Only..       Maron/Zako
