After a hard day in the yard, I was wondering how to reward myself.

And here is the answer.

This very minute while I’m typing, I’m listening to Anna Netrebko:

O Mio Babbino Caro

Try this Puritani Mad Scene Excerpt.

(I was there! No one applauds until all the sound from the orchestra died down. It was almost eerie.)

Thank you, HoosierHawk.

Bump for later enjoyment - for someone who loves anything Italian!

[LucyT]

Thanks, it’s so beautiful...and you heard it live...what a treat.

[HoosierHawk]

I was in such a doggone hurry that I should have mentioned that this is a 1954 recording, (not stereo, of course), of Maria Callas in the leading role. Other singers include Lucia Danieli, Mario Borriello and Nicolai Gedda.

You can find it here.

She’s wonderful! I just listed to borrow two of her CDs from the Library. (Hey! It’s MY tax dollars, may as well use them!)

I love Andrea Bocelli, so I don’t know how I’ve missed her so far. :)

[MEG33]

Amen
Thank you, Hoosier Hawk!

[ml/nj]

and you heard it live

Twice, in fact. But only one R&J this year (plus the one in the movie theater).

When you review the list of great current operatic sopranos, you notice one thing - the absence of Americans.

Thanks, HH. Nice post. :)
