Charles Kaufmann writes:

Bill and Dom: if your readers aren't aware of this, there is a very fine performance in Vienna by Kathleen Battle and Herbert von Karajan of "Voices of Spring" during the 1987 Vienna Philharmonic New Year's broadcast. Walter Cronkite gives the introduction: "Kathleen Battle is young, and pretty, and a favorite in opera houses around the world." 

-- Charles.
