I wasn't quite born yet, but had always read about that performance.
And, lo and behold, there it was on youtube!

That is a fun clip.

I'll check out Jennifer Knapp tomorrow whilst spring cleaning.
Superb — and seeing see great Herbert von Karajan conducting is an added bonus.

The haunting vocal arrangement and in particular the wonderful mellow guitar work mesh seamlessly with her velvety voice.
They put on a great live show.

I think it was truly beautiful.
