Timpanist at the Metropolitan Opera
I am trying to locate a passage in a book about Karajan, where Karajan speaks in glowing terms about a timpanist at the Metropolitan Opera. I have gone through the many books I have about Karajan, and have not been able to find the quote. Obviously it deals with his years at the Met conducting part of his production of the RING. It is possible that it is someone else relating this quote from Karajan. I remember that it spoke of the timpanist having the beautiful tone of a contrabass player. I read the quote in a book written, or translated into English. I recall that it was related by a third party, possibly in a collection of interviews with people about Karajan, or a recollection by a third party.
Does anyone know what book or journal this quote was written in?

Clouzot film of Mozart's "Coronation Mass"
I own a postcard which states that from 30th October-26 November 1995 in Paris there was a series of Karajan/Clouzot music films being shown. A film listed is Mozart's "Coronation Mass" with the RAI Roma Orchestra and the following soloists:
Josephine Veasey
Martina Arroyo
Franz Crass
I was very kindly sent a copy of the film of the "Coronation Mass" from 20th May 1967 in the presence of Pope Paul V1 but the soloists in this performance are:
Helen Donath
Tatjana Troyanos
Werner Krenn
Franz Crass
Also, I did not see any reference to Henri-Georges Clouzot as director. Can anyone tell me anything about this version as it does not seem to be listed in any of the sources I have consulted?
