I have been contacted by a website visitor who has seen an extract from a film of "Fidelio" with Karl Ridderbusch. He is certain it is the 1970 EMI Karajan production and wonders if anyone knows if a complete film exists.

Herbert von Karajan recalling the night before his first jump on a horse as a child:

" 'How can I lift this enormous thing up into the air and over the fence?' I thought to myself. Then I realised no one lifts the horse. You set it in the right position and it lifts itself. The orchestra will do the same thing."

(New York's Juilliard School master class for aspiring conductors in 1976)
