Subject: RE: ADD: Song of the Flea (Goethe/Mussorgsky)
The late lamented MGM-Lion posted a link to the performance that went into the Hall of Fame, by Feodor Chaliapin -- and the link doesn't work for me;
Chaliapin does some grandstanding at the very end of the song, singing something rather more than Mussorgsky composed ... but he's a legend. He can get away with it.
