OMG...this Gilda has a lovely timbre to her voice, but she has so many breaks, I can’t believe it. her mid range is exquisite, but she chops it off to go to her head voice for the really high notes. And the role has “quite a few” high notes! LOL!

Yes. I love watching these old opera films when he was in his prime!

Gutters And Windows
January 24, 2012
While we were out for a family drive, a spotless white sign with perfect red lettering caught my attention: Gutters and WindowsQuality Work Guaranteed. The sign was pristine, but I feared the house and barn directly behind it might collapse at any moment. The paint was peeling, the windows were cracked, and the gutters were nonexistent!
Many of us advertise for Jesus, but our spiritual houses are in disrepair. We may attend church, speak in Christianese, and mingle nicely with others. But when our conduct does not align with our hearts, our first-class behavior is just a performance of piety. When Jesus confronted the Pharisees, He said, You . . . outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness (Matt. 23:28).
Jesus had a different but equally direct message for His followers: Do not be like the hypocrites (6:16). The Bible encourages us to love from a pure heart . . . and from sincere faith (1 Tim. 1:5). These inner attitudes should pour out through our words and actions (Luke 6:45).
Today, consider the state of your spiritual house. If people look beyond the beautiful outward display, will they discover an authentic heart?
Hypocrisy is a common sin
That grieves the Lord above;
He longs for those wholl worship Him
In faith and truth and love. Bosch
God desires that our actions be a reflection of a pure heart.
Read: Matthew 23:23-31
Love from a pure heart . . . and from sincere faith.
1 Timothy 1:5

June Anderson was the Gilda in the production I was thinking of. No breaks - smooth transition through the registers. I think Leo Nucci made a carer of singing Rigoletto - He must have been in a dozen productions during the late 70's - early 80's.

I will look up “June Anderson:Cara Nome” on You Tube once the video is finished. I would like to hear her! :-)

I don't know when we'll see his like again. I'm not aware of any tenor of equal quality active today. No disparagement intended to Domingo or Carreras - they are pretty much finished although they still make an occasional appearance.
I had the good fortune to sing in the Choir for the Papal Mass in Washington during Pope Benedict's 2008 visit. Domingo sang exquisitely at that Mass - Panis Angelicus. One of the most memorable experiences of my adult life.

WOW! That is amazing!
I love Placido, but his voice has a whole different quality than Pavarotti. Pavarotti made it look so EFFORTLESS.
I am watching the quartet right now...amazing!

Alas...no new Cool people on the agenda for today!
To: ConorMacNessa
Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

Not a very good day, Kathy. Pulled or tore a muscle in my right side - between ribs - last Thursday or so. Over the succeeding days it has gotten progressively more painful.
This morning I woke up in severe pain - somewhat fortuitously, I had a Dr's. appointment this morning for pre-op clearance for a minor procedure I'm having next week. The Dr. examined me and determined that it was indeed a muscle pull or tear and put me on strong painkillers (Tramadol). They are providing some relief, although they tend to wear out pretty quickly.
I did not make it in to the office today and I cancelled my PT scheduled for this evening.
I will go in tomorrow regardless of how I feel - can't afford to miss any work at this time. Hopefully, the painkillers will provide enough relief to enable me to do my job.

Oh, no...can’t seem to get all of your in good shape at the same time. That kind of pain is not fun AT ALL! No matter what you do, it HURTS!
Hope the meds help you get through the day. Be careful driving!!!
It sure would be nice if they let you work from home.
