    The audio quality of this scene is excellent. When you hear Andrews and Burton bringing this scene alive you realize how humorous and delightful was much of Camelot. I love the romanticism of the movie - but in revelations such as this, you realize that CAMELOT can also be played as high comedy. Burton and Andrews' vocals are as fresh and full as they are on the legendary cast recording. How I would love to hear the audio of the entire performance some day. THANK YOU!

      The original novel it's based on is witty, and Alan Lerner was a witty man. I would never say that a tragic story could be played as a full on comedy -but much of the show was witty -unlike the film.

    her voice sounds so fresh and clean, just like in the recordings. Cant imagine she did this with such a pure voice for hundreds of performances.

    Of course Julie is sublime here, doing exactly what we have grown to expect with these songs, , but I am surprised nobody has mentioned Alan Lerner in the comments. He's written absolutely perfect lyrics which simultaniously foreshadow the sad irony of the finale simultaniously maintaining that delightful if slightly twisted mood of the entire first act. Its just full of wit and charm here, but in hindsight of the third act... far darker. He's one of the most disciplined and imspired lyricists of musical theater. Rex Harrison would, I'm sure agree.

    Oh My Lord!!!! This is absolutely delightful... and listening with earphones is even better. Julie's diction is really such a pleasure. There are some things truly remarkable here: The songs are not easy and in spite of, she's FLAWLESS! Then, the dialogue is wit, perfect and her comedy timing is - like her voice - FLAWLESS!!!! The exchange between Burton and Julie is freaking awesome and so delightful. What a brilliant show and amazing talent. Julie's voice must have been breathtaking to listen LIVE during these times! Thank you so much for the amazing editing and all the loving details!

    🎶 So wonderful to hear Andrews and Burton saying the dialogue so well and humorously as opposed to the movie which turned the whole scene into a slog. Julie's voice is exquisite and her line delivery is spot on. What a thrill it must have been to see she and Burton LIVE in those days. 💕🎶💖

      What do you mean “find it”. I bought the book, got the recording from a fan and a lot of pictures from others.
      Then it needs to be edited together and there you go: another puzzle piece.
