When the album My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts was re-issued on CD and later, vinyl, this song was replaced due to the fatwa placed on Salman Rushdie after the publication of The Satanic Verses. I was surprised to see it on Youtube.

(Elisabeth Schwarzkopf - about 6 minutes in)
This aria (and the whole opera) is all about the question: is the music or is the text more important?
