Given that it starts to stink around here (and that the administrator doesn't seem to be around anyway), I prefer to leave this place. There are enough other places where the air is still clean.

Right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJiVGjQinNo. You may safely tune in at around 4'40", when he starts playing part of Sowerby's Pageant (of which he is the decicatee). Maybe not Fernando at his best, but we're lucky to have footage of such a legend at all!
