Full Version: Together: Cynthia Gregory & Fernando Bujones
Amazon has a listing for a DVD titled Together: Cynthia Gregory & Fernando Bujones (product code: B001E1DJ3Y) to be released on September 9. The VAI Music site doesn't have anything about it yet. Any ideas about what could be on the DVD? Being a huge Bujones fan, I'm hoping for some previously unreleased stuff.
Mmmm. Interesting.

That Sleeping Beauty is the best I've ever seen. I have a fuzzy tape of the TV performance; I treasure it.

I just noticed that a young Somogyi is on this DVD. In the first piece "The Rehearsal" she is listed as "Young Cynthia: Jenny Somogyi."
