A singing duel. Leyla Gencer nails a high E flat that rivals Callas' crazy E flat from the Mexico Aida. The Big Mac replies with an earth shattering A flat. The audience goes crazy - of course.
However, Gianni Raimondi stole the show with his following high B natural in "La donna è mobile". It was en excellent performance (Buenos Aires 1961).
