Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007OT/ O Mio Babbino Caro
Good evening friends, Tonight, I am listening to the delightful music of Giacomo Puccini (1858--1924). At the moment, it is "O Mio Babbino Caro", from the opera "Gianni Schicchi", which is one of the most immortal short pieces ever written.... The performer was Kiri Te Kanawa... It seems to be a slow night on asd this evening... I hope all is well with each one of you. Will, T2 >Good evening friends, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Will, T2 Here is a rendition of that great aria by Charlotte Church. I fell asleep in my chair listening to Puccini last night, after making the original post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ6iEcXss2A&mode=related&search= Abother rendition by Hayley Westinra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nLKXxzVqTY&mode=related&search= It is refreshing to know that there is a new crop of fabulous young singers coming along! Will, T2 >> Good evening friends, >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Will, T2 I love that short piece by Puccini. It's instantly recognizable even to most of us average folk. Another such recognizable and much loved piece is Nessun Dorma. By the way, there's a young man from Whales who won Britain's "American Idol" but got into the semi finals singing Nessun Dorma and bringing down the house. His name is Paul Potts and his Youtube selection is worth seeing for the emotional depth he brings to his performance. He doesn't have Pavarotti's control, but he's got that certain something. If you do a Google search on him, you'll find that the impression left by the Youtube video about Potts' amateur status isn't entirely correct. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA >By the way, there's a young man from Whales who won Britain's "American >Idol" but got into the semi finals singing Nessun Dorma and bringing [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >http://youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA Hi Enrico, Nessun Dorma is one of my favorites, also... I agree, that Paul Potts is something indeed.... A very fine rising star! Thanks for sharing. Will, T2 Is his name Jonas ? I think I read about him in the bible ...

I went on to Maria Callas and particularly enjoyed the Casta Diva Slide Show. Her life was more tragic than any of the operas. The Tosca video is superb - great acting!

For me, music is one of the chief joys of living, and sometimes when I am listening to a particularly great piece of music, I just have to share my pleasure and enthusiasm.... Yes, Maria Callas is immortal.... I agree. It does seem that she experienced great sadness in her life. Will, T2 |
