Not sure how I feel about this one. Is it really a sincere attempt to complete an original vision or is it a combination of guesswork and graverobbing in the name of making a buck? Interesting that nowhere does the article mention what Montserrat Caballé, who is still alive (and well, as far as I know) thinks of this re-working. Although I was never a big fan of this LP, her blessing would add to my interest in the new version. Regardless of my skepticism about the CD, I'll likely be on board for a DVD or blu-ray of the documentary. Thx for posting, Jay.

Brooklyn OWNS this charmer!
If done well, this could be excellent. Any attempt to replace synths with live instrumentation, I'm down with.
