The only items on the unedited Albert Hall concert, not included on the BMG CD, are Costa's 5 piano solos. Also a remark Lanza made: when Lanza briefly introduces Victor Hawkhauser, as Hawkhauser leaves, Lanza says: "He isn't shy, he's just rushing to count the money!" There was no need to include that remark on the CD. Costa's 5 piano solos are: Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu, Chopin's famous Heroic Polanaise, Debussy's Clair De Lune, De Falla's Ritual Fire Dance, and a piece Callinicos wrote entitled "Greek Dances", to which he gives a brief spoken introduction. Ciao.
