Talk about pressure! :)

Here is a link to a young Jose Carreras singing under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. Talk about pressure. Jose has rhythm and word troubles just the same as anyone else, but his cost for mistakes is higher than yours, I promise! :) Follow the link to see the short video. I will add that Bernstein was a GENIUS and it must be hard to be that smart and have your life feel like everyone is moving in slow motion around you. :)

And here is a link to what I imagine is the same day with Jose Carreras, Leonard Bernstein, the London Symphony Orchestra and the added bonus of Kiri Te Kanawa. For your listening enjoyment:
